The choice of the venue for the return leg of the World Cup qualification play-off between Senegal and Ivory Coast has sparked discussions. While the first leg is scheduled between October 14 and 15, the return leg is already a topic of debate. Some former footballers, like Lamine Mboup and Yatma Diop, suggest choosing a country close to Senegal, such as Gambia, where the Lions would have strong support from the public. However, Louis Lamotte, president of ASSUR, supports the coach’s decision to choose Morocco and Marrakech, emphasizing better conditions for football. The national technical director, Mayacine Mar, notes that the decision needs to be discussed with the staff, and the coach’s opinion holds weight. The coach seems to have already chosen Morocco. The Léopold Senghor stadium in Dakar is suspended until November 30, 2013, following an incident during the Senegal-Ivory Coast match on October 13, 2012.
