Senegal at World Cup 2026 — Group I & Route
Senegal’s group stage 2026 draw put them in Group I alongside France, Norway and Iraq. On paper it is a tough group at the top — France are one of the tournament favourites — but Senegal have history against them (a famous 1–0 win in 2002). Iraq offer three achievable points. A win over Iraq plus one point from the France or Norway game puts Senegal in serious contention. In WC2026’s expanded 48-team format, second place guarantees a Round of 32 spot, while topping Group I opens a softer route into the last 16. Check the Senegal WC2026 fixtures below for exact kick-off times.

Senegal Squad & Key Players
The Senegal squad World Cup 2026 is built around European club experience and physical intensity. Head coach Pape Bouна Thiaw has named a squad blending seasoned campaigners — Mané, Mendy, Koulibaly — with a sharper new wave led by Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson and Everton’s Ilaiman Ndiaye. The key players WC2026 scouts will track combine technical quality with pace, giving Senegal genuine threat on the counter. Squad announced 21 May 2026 (source: Reuters).
- Sadio Mané (Al-Nassr, 34) — captain and all-time top scorer; 10 goals + 6 assists in the Saudi Pro League 2025/26; this is his final World Cup
- Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea, 23) — centre-forward; red card in the 9 Jun friendly does not carry over — available from kick-off
- Ilaiman Ndiaye (Everton, 24) — right winger; 0.96 chances created per 90 min in the Premier League, 3 assists in 2025/26; the sharpest creative threat in the squad behind Mané
- Édouard Mendy (Al-Ahly, 34) — starting goalkeeper; two-time AFCON winner; 65 senior caps; experience is the decisive factor in tight knockout matches
- Lamine Camara (AS Monaco, 21) — central midfielder; high-press engine in midfield with strong ball recovery stats; one of the youngest and most dynamic players in the squad
- Kalidou Koulibaly (Al-Hilal, 33) — centre-back and defensive leader; among the most capped players in the squad, brings reading of the game that keeps Senegal’s defensive shape compact
- Ismaila Sarr (Crystal Palace, 26) — left winger; direct, strong dribbling, key width option when Mané shifts centrally
