France seek to banish 2002 ghost against Senegal’s Teranga Lions in New Jersey

France will face Senegal's Lions of Teranga at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on June 16 in a Group I match that brings back memories of one of the greatest World Cup upsets in history. The fixture immediately conjures the ghost of Seoul, where Senegal shocked the world by beating then-champion France 1-0 in their opening match at the 2002 World Cup. In the 30th minute of that match, Papa Bouba Diop scored after meeting El Hadji Diouf's cut-back, ripping off his shirt and sprinting to the corner flag as his teammates celebrated in a circle of pure joy.

In a strongly worded statement, the FSF alleged problems with security, hotel arrangements, training facilities and ticket allocation for Senegalese fans.​ The federation said the team arrived in Rabat by train from Tangier to find “a clear lack of adequate security measures”, leaving players and staff exposed to overcrowding and safety risks at the station. It also protested that the initial hotel provided was substandard and only after an official complaint were the team moved to a five‑star facility deemed suitable for a continental final.​ Senegal further rejected plans to train at the Mohammed VI Complex, Morocco’s base throughout the tournament, arguing that using the […]
