DAKAR, Senegal (AP) \u2014 Senegal’s team jersey will now display only one star instead of two. world cup<\/span> This summer, but that has nothing to do with what this country will be like. stripped of African Cup of Nations title<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) issued a statement confirming that production of the jersey by kit manufacturer Puma began in August last year and that “due to manufacturing deadlines and industry constraints, it was not possible to interrupt this ongoing process.”<\/p>\n

Senegal continued Win the Africa Cup in January<\/span> This is their second continental title following their victory in the 2021 edition. The first star points to it.<\/p>\n

But on Tuesday, the Teranga Lions were surprisingly stripped of their second title when the African Football Confederation’s appeals committee ruled that Senegal were disqualified from the January 18 final after leaving the field without the referee’s permission, giving Morocco a 3-0 bye.<\/p>\n

The FSF did not comment on the decision in a statement, but continued to refer to “our victory” and said it would be reflected on team jerseys after the World Cup.<\/p>\n

“Recognizing the legitimate attachment that the Senegalese people have to their symbol, the FSF would like to reassure all supporters. A new jersey incorporating the second star is currently in production and will be on sale from September next year,” the federation said.<\/p>\n

“The FSF apologizes for the misunderstanding this situation has caused and thanks its supporters for their constant dedication, vigilance and unwavering attachment to the national team.”<\/p>\n

The FSF previously stated: We plan to appeal CAF’s unprecedented decision.<\/span> The Senegalese government condemned the “grossly illegal and grossly unjust decision” and called for an international investigation into “alleged corruption” within African football’s governing body, although a case before Switzerland’s Court of Arbitration for Sport typically takes a year to reach a verdict.<\/p>\n

CAF President Patrice Motsepe said on Wednesday protected against favorable perceptions of Morocco<\/span>co-hosting and investing heavily in the 2030 World Cup. Become a soccer powerhouse<\/span>.<\/p>\n
