FIFA has prohibited Senegal’s national football team from displaying a star on their jerseys at the 2026 World Cup. The star was intended to commemorate Senegal’s victory in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The decision was reported by African football journalist Micky Jnr on Sunday. FIFA has not publicly disclosed the specific reasons for the ban, but it relates to regulations governing kit designs at the World Cup. This prevents Senegal from immediately celebrating their continental triumph on the global stage. The team may be able to incorporate the star in future tournaments or through alternative means, but it will not be present on their 2026 World Cup kits.
