The African Cup qualifiers, but also Qatar, which is looming for the World Cup according to Augustin Senghor.
“I think that with regard to preparation, it’s the international calendar itself that sets the rules. Today, African teams have virtually no spaces to organize matches. For an eight-day window we will have two Can playoff games, it will be difficult if not impossible to play another friendly. It’s the whole equation of African teams that arises in November with the approach of the World Cup, “says the president of the Fsf.
He specifies: “We will have, for sure, a match now in September; we’ll see, we can’t commit too much because today we have to use these playoff matches as preparation matches. But we also know that we will have opponents who will not be the ones we will play at the World Cup. It’s a real tragedy for the African teams. I hope that the authorities who manage football will take this into account. It must be said today that at the next World Cup, the African teams are prejudiced, ”deplores Augustin Senghor.
