The speaker of Senegal’s parliament Ousmane Sonko has said that regardless of the outcome of Tuesday’s World Cup clash between Senegal and France, Africa would emerge the winner because of the large number of players of African origin in the French national team.
Speaking in an interview with France 24 and RFI ahead of the opening group I match, Sonko said the encounter transcends football and highlights Africa’s contribution to global talent.
