France-Sénégal : comment sont répartis les 400 billets du ministère des Sports destinés aux fans des Lions
The Ministry of Sports announced that it had reserved 400 tickets for the France-Senegal match, scheduled for Tuesday in New Jersey as part of the 2026 World Cup, for Senegalese supporters. An ad hoc committee, meeting on Saturday with the Senegalese Consul General in New York, allocated the tickets. "After more than two and a half hours of discussions, it was decided to allocate 230 tickets to the 12th Gaïndé USA, 150 to Senegalese associations established in the United States, and 20 to individuals invited by the consulate and embassy," reports Les Échos, which broke the story.
Despite extensive consultations, this allocation method is causing some friction. The daily newspaper reports that Vice-Consul Marie-Jeanne Diouf, head of the Pastef party in New York, argued that all 400 tickets should be allocated to the 12th Gaïndé USA, "believing that this group brings together the most active and committed supporters involved in organizing Lions matches."
While he maintains that the chosen allocation is acceptable, Pape Bâ, head of organization and activities for the 12th Gaïndé USA, warns against duplication. "It might have been more effective for the diplomatic services to retain a symbolic quota and for the remainder to be entrusted to the 12th Gaïndé USA, which knows the true supporters who have been mobilized for months to create an atmosphere around the national team," he suggests, in comments reported by Les Échos.
During the meeting, the newspaper notes, the Senegalese consul in New York emphasized that he had not yet received the tickets promised by the ministry. "This situation is creating uncertainty just hours before one of the Lions' most anticipated matches in this 2026 World Cup," the newspaper points out.
