Senegal players, led by their captain Kalidou Koulibaly, step off their bus and arrive at their hotel in New Brunswick, New Jersey, five days ahead of their first match against France to kick off the 2026 World Cup.

Greeted by fans, coach Pape Thiaw and veteran Sadio Mané received flowers upon their arrival.

Senegal face a stiff test in Group I with France — winners in 2018 and runners-up in 2022 — Norway and outsiders Iraq.
