Mondial 2026 : le maire de New York célèbre la qualification du Sénégal en 16es
Senegal's qualification for the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup continues to generate reactions beyond the pitch. Among them is that of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who made no secret of his enthusiasm after the Lions' performance.
After a group stage full of twists and turns, concluded in particular by a large victory against Iraq (5-0) and validated by the combined results of the other groups, Senegal has officially secured its ticket to the knockout stage.
On his X account (formerly Twitter), the New York mayor shared a post celebrating Senegal's qualification, accompanied by a simple but symbolic phrase: "Sénégal rek." This Wolof expression conveys strong support and a form of popular endorsement of the Lions' journey in the competition.
This reaction is part of a context of international enthusiasm surrounding the Senegalese national team, whose performances are now attracting the attention of political and cultural figures far beyond the world of football.
At the same time, other public figures also praised the qualification of Pape Thiaw's men, confirming the global recognition of a team which, despite a difficult start to the tournament, managed to turn things around to reach the round of 16.
Senegal now looks ahead to a high-stakes round of 16 match against a top-tier opponent from one of the tournament's major nations.
Senegal Rekkkkkkkk https://t.co/VFDManjCZk
