The friendly match between Senegal and Peru, scheduled for this Saturday at the Stade de France, will unfold under unusual circumstances. Despite the anticipation surrounding this fixture and its symbolic significance, the game will not be broadcast on French TV channels—a situation that raises eyebrows just hours before kick-off.

Due to a lack of agreement with broadcasters, the match will only be available via the promoter's website, while internationally, certain channels—including RTS in Senegal—will provide coverage. This decision deprives a large section of the French public of an eagerly awaited event.

Beyond the sporting aspect, tonight will mark the return of the Lions of Teranga after their triumph at AFCON 2025. The trophy will be presented to the fans, and the team will take the field with a two-star jersey, despite the ongoing dispute surrounding this title.
