Reliable goalkeeper \u00c9douard Mendy continues to guard the net.<\/p>\n This squad reflects coach Pape Boupa Thiaw\u2019s strategy of balancing proven internationals with fresh legs. Senegal, known for their impressive recent AFCON performances and World Cup qualifications, will target a quarter-final or better finish after reaching the Round of 16 in both 2018 and 2022.<\/p>\n The list remains provisional and could see late adjustments based on player fitness and club form. Senegalese fans are highly optimistic about their team\u2019s prospects in North America next summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Senegalese Football Federation has officially unveiled its provisional squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, sparking massive excitement among\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":502,"featured_media":52447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4658],"tags":[4049,4942,4057],"class_list":["post-52446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fifa-world-cup","tag-fifa-world-cup-2026","tag-senegal-football-team","tag-top-stories"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52446"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52458,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52446\/revisions\/52458"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Goalkeepers (Gardiens)<\/h3>\n
