The offer from the Mauritanian football federation to host Senegal’s matches in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers demonstrates solidarity and sportsmanship between African nations. The Mauritanian president, Ahmed Ould Yahya, expresses willingness to accommodate the Lions and highlights the potential challenges of hosting the match in Senegal’s capital, where there are many Lions supporters.
The suspension of the Léopold Sédar Senghor stadium and the fine imposed on Senegal by CAF have created a situation where Senegal needs alternatives for hosting its international matches. Renovating existing stadiums in Senegal is suggested as a possibility by the president of the Senegalese football federation (FSF). The overall situation emphasizes the importance of maintaining a conducive and safe environment for football events, and the support from neighboring countries adds a positive dimension to resolving these challenges.
