Choc France-Sénégal, souvenirs de 2002, crise des visas : Entretien avec Alassane Ndour
A few days before the Senegal-France clash, Alassane Ndour, former Senegalese international, analyzes the stakes of this match and discusses the difficulties of obtaining American visas for African journalists called upon to cover international competitions.
The former Lion of Teranga shared his expert perspective on the highly anticipated match scheduled for New York. Beyond the purely sporting aspect, Alassane Ndour strongly deplored the administrative obstacles faced by many reporters from the continent in obtaining visas for the United States. He considers this situation particularly worrying and detrimental to African media coverage in the lead-up to this major global event.
This historic match also prompted the former international to recall the memorable France-Senegal game in 2002 in Korea, where he was part of the Lions squad that achieved the feat of defeating the reigning world champions. In this regard, Alassane Ndour particularly reminisced with emotion about the galvanizing speech given by the coach at the time, the late Bruno Metsu, a pivotal moment that forged the team's morale before their historic entry into the competition.
