Senegal has confirmed a second international friendly in Europe, adding a clash against Ireland to their summer schedule.
The fixture, set for June 6 at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, will serve as a key test for the Lions of Teranga ahead of upcoming competitive matches.
The announcement follows the Senegalese Football Federation’s (FSF) recent confirmation of a friendly against England on June 10 in Nottingham.
With two matches against European opposition, Senegal will have a valuable opportunity to assess their squad against high-level competition.
Preparation for Competitive Challenges
Senegal’s encounter with Ireland will be their first-ever meeting, offering head coach Pape Thiaw a chance to fine-tune his team before they take on the Three Lions four days later.
The Aviva Stadium, known for its passionate atmosphere, is expected to provide a tough test for the African champions.
The decision to arrange these friendlies aligns with Senegal’s long-term preparation strategy as they look to maintain their status as one of Africa’s strongest teams on the international stage.
These matches will not only offer tactical insights but also help players adapt to different playing styles, particularly against physically strong and disciplined European sides.
With both fixtures now officially confirmed, Senegal’s summer schedule is set, promising two high-profile encounters that will serve as key benchmarks for their squad’s development.
Le Sénégal affrontera l’Irlande en juin, dans le cadre d’un match amical international.
