Egyptian Football Association (EFA) president Gamal Allam said they never asked for a rematch against Senegal. Senegal beat Egypt 3-1 on penalties to secure their place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The match was surrounded by many complaints from the Egyptians. They accuse Senegal of delaying the team bus. The EFA, the Egyptian football federation, claims to have even requested a postponement of the match by 30 minutes. As a result, the EFA formally protested to FIFA and President Gamal Allam had said he requested the match be replayed in a fair atmosphere. However, he has just denied asking for the game to be replayed, revealing that they had asked for direct qualification for the 2022 World Cup. “We did not ask for the game against Senegal to be replayed,” said Allam . “We asked for direct qualification for the World Cup because of the hostile atmosphere in which the match was played,” he complains.

Like the other African selections qualified for the 2022 World Cup, in Qatar next November, the Senegalese Football Federation is working to find friendly matches for the National Team. A desire also displayed by the president of the Senegalese Football Federation. According to the newspaper Le Quotidien, the federal body is about to sign for a friendly match for the period set between “June 11 and 13” next. A match scheduled at the Me Abdoulaye Wade Stadium in Diamniadio and which falls just after the trip to Kigali on June 7. A choice to play at home which is explained by the wish of the African champions and the Federals who want to reward the Senegalese public again following their resounding support during the return barrage against Egypt. An opportunity also for the Sadio Mané gang to find this new temple of Senegalese football, appreciated all over the continent. Long before that, the Lions will start qualifying for CAN 2023 by receiving Benin on the 3rd and moving to Rwanda on the 7th, on behalf of group L, which is completed by Mozambique. Le Quotidien reports that Brazil is among the targeted countries, contacts have been made in this direction. In addition to Brazil, the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) is approaching Colombia, Chile and Paraguay. As a reminder, these team profiles allow Senegal to familiarize themselves with the game of Ecuador, the South American team in their group at the World Cup, which also includes Qatar and the Netherlands.
