21-match unbeaten run for Senegal before facing England

Senegal's national team is gearing up for a highly anticipated friendly against England this Tuesday, June 10, at Nottingham's City Ground. This clash promises to be a genuine test, reminiscent of World Cup encounters.

Senegal aims to keep unbeaten run alive against England

The "Lions of Teranga" are currently riding an impressive streak of 21 consecutive matches without a loss, boosting both the confidence and morale of the players and coaching staff led by head coach Pape Thiaw.

During the pre-match press conference, Pape Thiaw stated that his squad has the quality and resources needed to go toe-to-toe with England, expressing his hope for a positive result against the "Three Lions."

The Senegalese manager declared: "We’re on a 21-match unbeaten run. Tomorrow, we’re up against a powerhouse, but we have our strengths… so why not win here?"

Recently, Senegal secured a 1-1 draw with Ireland in Dublin, where the coach rested some key players in preparation for this crucial fixture. These two friendlies serve as a prelude to the start of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers as well as the final phase of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

It’s worth noting that captain Sadio Mané will miss this match due to religious commitments, as he embarks on his first pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
