Senegal face Sudan this Thursday evening in the third round of 2027 AFCON qualifying. Find out the official lineups.

With doubts to address and eager to do much better, Patrick Vieira’s Senegal national team return to 2027 AFCON qualifying this Thursday evening, taking on Sudan at the Stade Léopold-Sédar-Senghor. Level on four points with Mozambique, who face Ethiopia on Friday, the second-placed Lions of Teranga are determined to shine in front of their fans.

The starting lineups

Senegal’s starting XI for this match is now known as they look to claim all three points against the Nile Crocodiles. Up front, as expected, Boulaye Dia and Nicolas Jackson lead the line, with Ibrahim Mbaye and Iliman Ndiaye supporting them on the wings. In defence, the coach has opted to bring captain Kalidou Koulibaly back into the side. But the biggest surprise in the starting XI is Dion Lopy’s inclusion in midfield.

The official lineups:

Senegal: Y. Diouf – Sané, Koulibaly (C), Niakhaté, Malick Diouf – Iliman, Dion Lopy, Lamine Camara, Mbaye – Dia, Jackson

Sudan: (to come)
