« Bouteilles d’alcool millésimés, cadeaux, soirées en galante compagnie... » : révélations inouïes sur le séjour de certains fédéraux aux États-Unis !
Amid persistent internal tensions, the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has reportedly spilled its divisions into the official delegation present in the United States for the World Cup. This is according to Sport News Africa, which describes a toxic atmosphere marked by privilege, misconduct, and simmering conflicts within the leadership.
According to the media outlet, the FSF Executive Committee, already weakened by months of internal disputes that sometimes degenerated into insults, had attempted to present a united front after the AFCON final and the various legal proceedings that followed. This facade of unity quickly crumbled, particularly due to persistent disagreements over bonuses and resource management.
In this climate of mistrust, the World Cup was theoretically supposed to help reunite the ranks. But in reality, according to Sport News Africa, each side continued to operate according to its own logic, within a delegation described as bloated, where relatives, family members, and guests whose roles were not always clearly defined were mixed together.
The media outlet reports that a vice-president allegedly extended numerous invitations, including to content creators and young women, whose presence reportedly raised eyebrows even within the technical staff. Meanwhile, Secretary General Abdoulaye Sow, described as the true power behind the FSF's day-to-day operations, is said to have focused more on institutional tensions and the open conflict with national team coach Pape Thiaw.
According to Sport News Africa, the delegation's financial management also raised questions, with expense reports deemed particularly high, especially given that some delegation members appeared to enjoy considerable spending freedom. "I have a pretty good idea who's footing the bill," an official told the media outlet. He added, "The state disbursed a large sum for the World Cup, so some people are taking advantage of it."
During the first few days of their stay in the United States, the atmosphere reportedly resembled a continuous party, marked by conspicuous consumption, gifts, and parties described as excessive. Sport News Africa specifically mentions "vintage bottles of alcohol" and "evenings in the company of women," observed within a delegation where the players themselves sometimes seemed out of step with the behavior of some of the team's leaders.
Surprised by this atmosphere, the hotel staff reportedly even expressed their displeasure, while some players, left to their own devices, reportedly opted for simpler solutions, such as ordering fast food or going out on their own, far from the official protocol.
