The Senegal national football team, also known as the Lions of Teranga, is preparing for an important match against Angola on March 23, 2013, as part of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The match will take place at the September 28 Stadium in Conakry.
To ensure proper acclimatization and familiarity with the playing field, the team, led by coach Alain Giresse, has chosen to arrive early in Conakry. Despite the availability of only a limited time due to some players still being involved with their clubs on Sundays or Mondays, the team aims to adapt to the conditions and make the most of the preparation days before the crucial match against Angola.
Senegal currently leads its qualifying group, with Angola as a close competitor. The decision to play the match in Conakry is due to a suspension of Senegal’s home pitch by FIFA for a year. The team is focused on maintaining its lead and securing the only qualifying place for the next round.
