Hervé Kouamouo , consultant France 24 : « L’effectif sénégalais n’est pas équipé pour aller en finale du Mondial 2026»
More of a scare than anything serious for Senegal. The Lions have finally qualified for the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, after their resounding 5-0 victory against Iraq on Friday, June 26. Pape Thiaw's men thus continue their journey in this grand spectacle of world football. The name of their next opponent should be known by the end of the evening.
"The squad they have is second-tier. That should allow them to perhaps play in the round of 16 or the quarter-finals."
Some observers of African football already believe that this hard-fought qualification could reunite the team and propel them to the top, perhaps even to the final of the competition. Hervé Kouamouo, the France 24 pundit, disagrees.
In his opinion, "the Senegalese squad is not equipped to reach the final of this 2026 World Cup." He sees them more likely to reach the round of 16 or the quarter-finals.
"The squad they have is second-tier. That should allow them to perhaps reach the round of 16 or the quarterfinals," said the France 24 commentator. The rest of the competition will tell if he's right or wrong.
