France-Sénégal au MetLife Stadium : distribution de tickets tardive, insultes et coups de poing entre supporters
According to Les Échos, the distribution of free tickets for the 2026 World Cup match between France and Senegal, which ended in a 3-1 defeat for the Lions of Teranga, "turned into chaos" at MetLife Stadium. What was meant to be a celebratory occasion turned into scenes of tension, marked by "insults, scuffles, and even punches" between supporters. The newspaper points out that the cause was the organizers' late receipt of the 400 tickets, which arrived only the day before the match, leading to a large crowd and widespread frustration.
The allocation included 230 tickets for the 12th Gaïndé movement, 150 for associations of Senegalese people living in the United States, and 20 for guests of the Consulate and Embassy. Furthermore, the management of the event was reportedly hampered by a "lack of financial support" for the transportation and supervision of the supporters. According to Aboubakry Ba, logistics manager for the 12th Gaïndé USA, quoted by the same source, this lack of resources greatly exacerbated organizational difficulties and contributed to "increasing the disorder" and the disturbances that occurred.
