US EditionSenegal's World Cup Jerseys to Display Just One Africa Cup Star, Not Two
Jersey production began before the Africa Cup title change, so Senegal will wear one star at the World Cup; new two-star jerseys will be ready by next September, FSF said.
- Mar 21, 2026, the FSF said Senegal will wear only one star at the World Cup this summer, citing manufacturing deadlines and industrial constraints.
- Because manufacturing started in August last year, manufacturing deadlines and industrial constraints prevented interrupting ongoing production, as FSF states.
- Despite winning in January, Senegal national team was ruled by the Confederation of African Football appeals board on Tuesday to have forfeited the Jan. 18 final, awarding Morocco a default 3-0 win.
- The Senegalese Football Federation said it will appeal CAF's decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and apologized to supporters, condemning the ruling, while the jerseys are in production.
- The FSF says new jerseys with second star are in production and will be available starting next September, while CAF president Patrice Motsepe defended the body against perceptions of favoritism toward Morocco.
