Senegal is dismantling Belgium at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, leading 2-0 in their knockout stage clash in Seattle on July 1. Habib Diarra opened the scoring in the 25th minute, converting a ball that ricocheted off the post, and Ismaïla Sarr doubled the lead in the 51st minute against a Belgian side that looked sluggish and devoid of ideas.
Fan tokens meet elimination football
Belgium launched its official fan token, $BELG, on Socios.com on June 3, 2026, less than a month before the tournament kicked off. The token gives holders voting rights on certain team decisions and access to reward mechanisms tied to performance.
Fan tokens have historically been volatile around match results. When Paris Saint-Germain signed Lionel Messi in 2021, the $PSG token surged before settling back down. A Belgium exit at the Round of 32 stage would represent exactly the kind of early tournament shock that tests whether fan token holders are actual fans or just speculators riding momentum.
Senegal, by contrast, has no official fan token and no dedicated crypto sponsorship. That’s not unusual for African football federations, which have broadly been slower to adopt blockchain tools for fan engagement.
