A day before facing Sudan on Thursday 12 November at Dakar’s Léopold-Sédar-Senghor Stadium, Senegal’s Lions are training in Diamniadio to protect the pitch at the Dakar venue. Coach Patrick Vieira explained the decision. According to SeneNews, the match is part of preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Senegal decided not to hold a collective training session at Dakar’s Léopold Sédar Senghor Stadium before their match against Sudan, scheduled for Thursday 12 November. Coach Patrick Vieira explained that the staff wanted to protect the venue’s pitch before the match, according to SeneNews.
Senegal’s Lions are therefore continuing their preparations in Diamniadio, where they moved their session initially planned in Dakar. Patrick Vieira said the decision was necessary to protect the pitch on the eve of the match against Sudan, according to SeneNews.
The move comes after Senegal’s training session at Léopold-Sédar-Senghor Stadium announced on 7 November. Senegal’s preparations at Léopold-Sédar-Senghor Stadium had then been presented as part of preparations for the two-legged tie against Sudan.
