Augustin Senghor, the president of the Senegalese Football Federation, has refused to resign despite pressure from the Prime Minister. The call for his resignation comes in the aftermath of the Senegal national team’s elimination and the subsequent riots.
Senghor, who is also a lawyer, stated that he refused to leave his post “despite the respect I owe to authority. I will be the last to leave him.” This decision comes after his deputy resigned a few days earlier. The football federation in Senegal is undergoing internal challenges and external pressures in the wake of recent events.
