Senegal’s national team arrived in Juba, South Sudan, ahead of their match against Sudan on Monday 16 November in the fourth round of AFCON 2027 qualifiers. The Lions, leaders of Group J with 7 points, went to their hotel after a special flight, according to the Senegalese Football Federation cited by Senego.

The Senegalese delegation landed on Saturday at 10.30am local time on a special flight before going to the Imperial Hotel, near Juba Stadium, according to the Senegalese Football Federation.

No training session was scheduled for Saturday. The staff prioritised recovery after Thursday’s match and the journey, with a muscle activation session organised at the hotel.

Nobel Mendy, injured, is the only player absent from the delegation. Senegal had comfortably beaten Sudan 4-1 in Dakar on Thursday and will face their opponents again on Monday at 1pm GMT, or 3pm in Juba.
