Senegal's 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign came to an end in the Round of 32, but the headlines have continued long after the tournament.
Details: According to the president of the Senegalese Football Federation, the doctor who had worked with the national team for the past 10 years was, in fact, a gynaecologist by specialty. He was also part of Senegal's medical staff at the most recent World Cup.
Reminder: The semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup are just around the corner, to be followed by the third-place play-off and the final. However, for many referees, the tournament has already come to an end.
