The sports scene in Senegal has been shaken significantly since the Lions of Teranga's exit against Belgium in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup.

Controversial issues continue to emerge in a chaotic scene, starting with sexual harassment allegations, the dismissal of coach Pape Thiaw, blatant interference in the federation's affairs, and extending to suspicions surrounding the team doctor, who is suspected of being a gynecologist, in a long list of endless scandals.

Today, Wednesday, a new scandal was revealed, whose victim is Senegalese goalkeeper Édouard Mendy, the goalkeeper of Saudi Al-Ahli.

The site Foot Mercato reported, citing Sport News Africa, a new episode highlighting the difficulties faced by Senegal's players during the tournament.

The site confirmed that neither the players, the technical staff, nor any members of the delegation were insured during the World Cup, as the Senegalese Football Federation did not provide any insurance coverage to protect those under its responsibility.

Édouard Mendy himself suffered from this after injuring his knee during the second group stage match against Norway.

The Senegalese goalkeeper, who was forced to undergo an MRI scan to determine the severity of his injury, had to pay for the expensive scan himself in the United States. This is another example of the chaos that marred Senegal's participation in the World Cup.
