Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly has questioned the United States’ travel restrictions on Senegalese nationals, saying the measures have prevented many supporters from attending the ongoing FIFA World Cup.
Speaking after Senegal’s 3-1 defeat to France in their opening match on Tuesday, Koulibaly expressed disappointment that many fans from the West African nation were unable to travel to the U.S. to support the team.
