As of the opening of the candidacy period on Monday, Me Augustin Senghor is reported to be the sole candidate in the running for the presidency of the Senegalese football federation. The list of candidates will remain open until July 24, and the current president is expected to seek re-election.
Me Senghor, who has been the president of the Senegalese football federation since August 2009, faced challenges during his first term, particularly after the national team’s elimination and incidents during a match against Ivory Coast. Despite pressure from the government for resignations, Me Senghor expressed his commitment to continue in his role.
The upcoming elective general meeting is scheduled for August 24, where the official outcome of the election and the future leadership of the Senegalese football federation will be determined.
