AFCON 2025: Senegalese FA takes surprise decisions ahead of tournament
The Senegalese Football Federation introduced a series of unexpected measures on Tuesday as the country approaches crucial deadlines before the Africa Cup of Nations.
The federation’s emergency committee met at the FSF headquarters on 2 December, marking its first session since the new leadership took office.
Committee members gathered to review urgent matters, assess ongoing challenges and outline steps that strengthen the federation’s internal structure.
The meeting ended with ten significant decisions that reshape the organisation’s administrative approach.
Officials focused on tightening internal coordination, preparing more efficiently for upcoming competitions and improving overall governance within Senegalese football.
The leadership wants to act quickly and remove any obstacles that could disrupt preparations for AFCON 2025.
Committee members discussed the immediate priorities facing the national game and evaluated how the federation can refine its operations during a busy period.
They agreed on new measures that streamline processes, reinforce responsibilities and improve communication across departments.
The federation aims to create an environment where the technical and administrative teams work with greater clarity and speed.
The timing of these decisions surprised many observers because Senegal enters the final stretch of its AFCON build-up. The federation, however, believes firm action now will prevent complications later and give the national team a more stable support system.
Officials concluded the meeting with a renewed commitment to protect the federation’s long-term vision while responding to short-term demands.
They intend to implement each decision immediately and maintain strict follow-up as the tournament draws closer.
The emergency committee plans further sessions in the coming weeks to monitor progress and ensure every resolution aligns with Senegal’s ambitions on and off the pitch.
