Senegal has announced its starting eleven to face Norway in a pivotal Group I match of the 2026 World Cup, scheduled for midnight GMT Tuesday. Head coach Pape Thiaw has opted to retain the same lineup that started in their opening 3-1 defeat against France, prioritizing consistency. Key players like captain Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, and Sadio Mané will feature in the starting lineup. The midfield will consist of Idrissa Gana Gueye, Pape Gueye, and Lamine Camara, tasked with controlling the game. Following their loss to France, Senegal needs a positive result against Norway, who won their first match against Iraq, to remain competitive in the tournament. A win or draw is crucial for Senegal’s hopes of advancing to the knockout stage.
