Sénégal-Pérou au Stade de France : Youssou Ndour, Booba, une fête à 500 millions F CFA
On March 28, Senegal's national football team, crowned African champions in Morocco, will face Peru in a first-ever friendly match at the Stade de France. This will be a historic first, as no friendly match between two foreign nations has ever been played at the home of Les Bleus without them being present, as the French national team is usually away in the United States, according to L'Observateur.
To organize this event in Saint-Denis, the same source reveals, the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) had to mobilize significant financial resources. The stadium rental cost €500,000 (approximately 328 million CFA francs), in addition to €200,000 (over 130 million CFA francs) in organizational costs. Including expenses related to the Senegalese delegation—notably player bonuses, accommodation, and travel—the total investment exceeds 500 million CFA francs.
Beyond the sporting aspect in preparation for the 2026 World Cup, adds the daily newspaper of the Groupe Futurs Médias (GFM), the event is intended as a grand celebration of the Lions' continental title. The trophy will be presented to the public, particularly the Senegalese diaspora, in a festive atmosphere marked by a giant concert featuring two global stars: Youssou Ndour and Booba.
The federation is also relying on an ambitious commercial strategy. Approximately 50,000 tickets have been put on sale, with prices ranging from 22,000 to 78,000 FCFA. In parallel, an international tender has been launched for the marketing of television and digital broadcasting rights for the match, divided into several lots covering North America, the rest of the world, mobile platforms, and the sports betting sector, adds the Gfm headline.
