One-star shirts: the Senegalese Football Federation explains the situation and reassures Senegalese fans

In response to the numerous reactions sparked by the unveiling of the Senegal national team’s new kits, the governing body of Senegalese football has issued a statement to clarify the situation.

To reassure supporters, the Federation explained in a statement that production of the kits had been underway since August 2025 by its partner, well ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The FSF promises the imminent arrival of a second star on the kits.

The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) wishes to inform the public that production of these shirts was launched in August 2025 by our kit supplier Puma, ahead of the last Africa Cup of Nations. Following our victory, manufacturing deadlines and industrial constraints did not allow for this process, which was already underway, to be halted. Aware of the Senegalese people’s legitimate attachment to their symbols, the FSF wishes to reassure all supporters: the new shirts featuring the second star are currently in production. They are expected to be available from next September.
