Kalidou Koulibaly laments the absence of African fans at the World Cup
The captain of the Lions of Teranga spoke about this situation, which is affecting several African teams.
Supporters from African countries were unable to travel to the United States to support their teams at the World Cup. Difficulties in obtaining visas prevented many supporters from making the journey.
In an interview with The Athletic, Kalidou Koulibaly lamented this situation. The Senegalese defender expressed his bewilderment at this situation. In his view, football must remain a unifying force where all fans have a place.
“Every national team can have its supporters, so why not the Africans? I don’t want to talk about politics or that sort of thing. I just want to talk about football, enjoy football, and I think football is for everyone.”
