The Senegalese Football Federation announces 258,873,000 CFA francs in revenue from Senegal-Sudan, with 41,994 tickets sold out of 43,569, representing 96% capacity. The 12 November match also caused access difficulties and crowd surges, for which the federation apologised, according to Seneweb.

The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) explains that its 100% digital ticketing system, entrusted to Orange Senegal, is intended to secure transactions, better control ticket distribution and limit speculative practices around national team matches.

The FSF plans an assessment with the various stakeholders following the access difficulties and crowd surges at Léopold Sédar Senghor Stadium. The Federation says it will make the assessment public and that it will specify the measures planned to improve the reception and safety of supporters.

The Senegal-Sudan match, played on 12 November 2026 as part of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, was preceded by the Senegalese Football Federation’s celebration of Édouard Mendy, announced on 12 November.
