Coupe du monde 2026 : En déplacement dans le New Jersey, Modou Lô croit aux chances de qualification des Lions
The famous Senegalese wrestler Modou Lô, former king of the arenas, visited the Senegalese national team on Thursday during their training session in New Jersey, USA, to show his support ahead of their upcoming matches in the 2026 World Cup.
Present at the edge of the pitch, the wrestling champion was keen to encourage the Lions of Teranga, a few days after their defeat (1-3) against France in their entry into the competition.
“I came to offer my moral support to the Lions,” Modou Lô told Soleil Digital.
Despite this initial setback, the former king of the arenas was optimistic about Senegal's chances of qualifying for the second round.
“I am confident. France is a strong team, as is Senegal. We hope the Lions will bounce back in the next matches,” he stated.
The wrestler also praised the experience and determination of the Senegalese internationals.
"Our players are experienced competitors. They know what they need to do on the field to succeed. They want victory even more than we, the fans, do, and I have complete confidence in them," he added.
After their defeat against France, the Lions currently occupy third place in Group I. They will play a decisive match against Norway, featuring striker Erling Haaland, on Monday night, before concluding the group stage against Iraq on June 26.
These two matches will be crucial for the men of the Senegalese coach, who remain in contention for a place in the round of 16.
