Équipe nationale : La révolte solidaire des Lions face à la flambée des prix des billets
On the eve of the decisive 2026 World Cup qualifying clash against Mauritania, tensions are looming over the Senegalese national team. The culprit is the "increase in ticket prices," which has sparked intense anger among fans. On social media, many are denouncing the unfair decision, with some even calling for a boycott of the match.
But it was an unexpected reaction that changed the tone of the debate. Rather than the sports authorities, it was the national coach, Pape Thiaw, who took the lead. In a powerful gesture, he announced that he was donating his entire bonus from the victory against South Sudan, estimated at 4,000,000 CFA francs, to provide tickets for supporters. "I'm going to donate my bonuses so that the supporters can come. We need our fans," he declared, sparking an unprecedented wave of solidarity.
His initiative immediately resonated with the Lair. Krépin Diatta welcomed "a huge gesture" and also decided to contribute. "I, too, plan to buy a lot of tickets and hand them out. Several players will do the same. For this crucial match, I have made 200 tickets available to those who want to come and push the team to victory. It will be served on a first-come, first-served basis," said the Lions' right-back.
For their part, Chérif Ndiaye and Pathé Ciss stressed the importance of popular support, recalling how the fervor of supporters, particularly those from their home neighborhoods, is essential in pushing the team towards victory.
This final qualifying match, crucial for the Lions, is now taking on the appearance of a popular celebration. Thanks to the generosity and solidarity of the players, Senegalese football is once again reminding us that its strength lies as much on the pitch as in the hearts of the people.

Est ce la Fédé? le ministère des sports? ou la structure chargée de la gestion du stade?
Quoi qu il en soit,c est le pire moment pour prendre une telle décision.
