Senegal plans to parade the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) trophy ahead of their friendly match against Peru in Paris on Saturday, with the country’s Football Federation vowing a “crusade” against the decision to strip the team of the title, BBC Sport reports.
The technical bench and the tunnel has been branded with a two-star banner reinforcing their stance amid the ongoing CAF title dispute. ‘Everyone knows we are African champions’, insists Senegal coach.
“I am focused on my job. It is important to not be distracted. Everyone knows we are the champions of Africa,” Thiaw told reporters at a press conference in Paris, ahead of his team’s friendly meeting with Peru on Saturday at the Stade de France.
