Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Qualifiers: Senegal vs. Tunisia, the Lionesses 90 minutes away from the third round

Five days after their 1-0 victory in the first leg in Radès, the Senegalese women's national team will host Tunisia this Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 5:00 PM at the Léopold Sédar Senghor Stadium. Alioune Abatalib Fall's players will need to maintain their lead to secure qualification for the third round of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic qualifiers.

Senegal is in a favorable position, but the hardest part is yet to come. After defeating Tunisia in Radès thanks to a goal from Ndeye Awa Casset, the Lionesses face the Eagles of Carthage with the ambition of securing their place in the third round of African qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The second leg will kick off at 5 p.m. at the Léopold Sédar Senghor Stadium. Playing in front of their home crowd, the Senegalese women will have the opportunity to defend their lead and take another step forward in these qualifiers.

An advantage to preserve

With this away win, Ndeye Awa Casset's teammates have taken a first step towards qualification. However, they will need to demonstrate discipline and focus to withstand the onslaught of a Tunisian team that can no longer afford any mistakes.

Having lost on their own turf, the Tunisian women should approach this match determined to make up the deficit. The Lionesses must therefore avoid any complacency and be clinical in both penalty areas to prevent jeopardizing their chances.

The objective is clear for Alioune Abatalib Fall's players: to confirm the result of the first leg and continue their Olympic journey. Another victory, or even a draw, would be enough for Senegal to secure their qualification for the third round.

In front of their fans, the Lionesses now have 90 minutes to finish the job and get a little closer to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
