A World Cup is a marathon and this group has the resources to bounce back. The Nation remains fully by your side. On to the next match, with the same hunger and the same faith. Go Lions! Bassirou Diomaye Faye President of Senegal'.

Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye sent an encouraging message to the country’s national team, the Teranga Lions, after losing their opening match at the 2026 World Cup 3-1 to France on Tuesday in the US.

Kylian Mbappé scored twice while Bradley Barcola added another goal for France, which rebounded from a surprisingly poor first-half performance.

Ibrahim Mbaye scored with an angled shot for Senegal five minutes into stoppage time.
