US: Senegalese journalists face visa difficulties at 2026 World Cup.

Senegalese journalists covering their national team's World Cup journey are facing challenges reporting all matches due to the single-entry visas granted by the Untied States. Team Senegal is playing the first two games of the group stage in the United States, and the third in Canada. At the team's training base in New Jersey, Senegalese reporters expressed frustrations over the visa situation, noting that although their press credentials allow them to travel to Canada and Mexico for coverage, the visa restrictions prevent them from accompanying the team to the match in Toronto.
