Sow, Cissé, Fall... the FSF in a post-World Cup communication operation
Description
The elimination of the Lions in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, on July 1 in Seattle against Belgium after having led 2-0, could have ended with a simple sporting assessment. Twelve days later, Senegal is occupied with a completely different battle: that of words, statements, and competing versions delivered by the leaders of the Senegalese Football Federation. Between calculated admissions, mutual accusations, and backtracking, Abdoulaye Fall, Abdoulaye Seydou Sow, and Bacary Cissé offer a near-live look at the behind-the-scenes of an improvised crisis management.

Description
During the night of Saturday July 11 to Sunday July 12, 2026, the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) confirmed the departure of Pape Thiaw, as well as his entire technical staff.

Description
Between locker room secrets, physical breakdowns, amateur logistics and explosive altercations, the campaign of the Lions of Senegal at the World Cup was cut short. Behind the elimination of Pape Thiaw’s men in the round of 32 against Belgium lies a series of major dysfunctions: from the eviction of Moustapha Mbow to the violent clash between Pape Gueye and the FSF officials, including numerous physical failures within the squad and even players forced to handle their own visa applications. An exclusive look behind the scenes of a group that has rarely experienced such a chaotic preparation and competition.

Description
Overturned by Belgium in the round of 32 (3-2), Senegal leaves the 2026 World Cup with heads down and amid tensions. But beyond the tactical failure, it is an incredible backstage crisis that paralyzed the Lions during this campaign. Between the coach, Pape Thiaw, put under pressure by his management regarding his employment contract, and the palace lifestyle marked by privilege granted to certain FSF officials, this is the first part of revelations about a toxic atmosphere in the Den.

The Senegalese press slams Pape Thiaw after Senegal's elimination
Description
Senegal’s elimination by Belgium (3-2 after extra time) in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup caused a shockwave in the local press. After leading 2-0, the Lions were caught at the end of regular time, and ultimately gave way on a penalty awarded in the 120th minute for a foul by Lamine Camara on Youri Tielemans. This refereeing decision, considered harsh by some observers, nevertheless did not spark any major controversy. The consensus was reached elsewhere, on the responsibility of Pape Thiaw in this collapse.

2026 World Cup - Senegal: Pape Thiaw, architect of his own downfall
Description
The scenario will remain one of the most painful in the history of the Lions. While leading 2-0 against Belgium until the 85th minute of the World Cup round of 16, the Senegalese ultimately lost 3-2 after extra time, due to a penalty conceded by a completely exhausted Lamine Camara. Beyond the sporting disappointment, it is Pape Thiaw’s management of the match, and more broadly of the competition, that is being sharply criticized.
