Senegal supporters are still dreaming of seeing their side lift the World Cup on July 19.
The Lions of Teranga have already familiarized themselves with the tournament's final venue, having played their first two Group I matches at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. After a spirited first-half performance in New Jersey against heavyweights France, Senegal ultimately struggled to contain the second-half brilliance of Kylian Mbappé and Michael Olise.
However, they quickly shook off that opening setback. Rebounding with a fighting spirit against Norway and a dominant blowout of Iraq, the Lions are far from downhearted and stand fully ready to roar in the knockout rounds.

What to expect from Senegal in the World Cup 2026?
Senegal has now made four World Cup appearances, advancing from the group stage three times. Famous for their 2002 debut run to the quarter-finals—which included a shocking 1–0 win over holders France- they also reached the knockouts in 2022 and have repeated the feat in North America.
Pape Thiaw’s side arrived in strong form, having gone unbeaten in qualifying and securing a marquee 3–1 friendly win over Thomas Tuchel's England. While they stumbled early in Group I with losses to France (3–1) and Norway (3–2), they rebounded on the final matchday by thrashing Iraq 5–0. The historic blowout allowed them to advance to the Round of 32 as one of the best third-placed teams.
The Lions of Teranga rely on an elite, 100+ cap veteran spine of Kalidou Koulibaly, Idrissa Gueye, and Sadio Mané. However, they are energized by top-tier European talent like Nicolas Jackson, Pape Gueye, and an in-form Ismaïla Sarr, who has already netted three goals in the tournament.
Belgium vs Senegal Head-to- Head history
Despite both being regular fixtures at major international tournaments and friendlies over the decades, they have managed to completely avoid each other. They have never crossed paths in a friendly, the Confederations Cup, or previous World Cups.
The closest thing to a "connection" going into this match is personal: Belgium's midfielder Amadou Onana was actually born in Dakar, Senegal, and grew up there before moving to Europe, so he will be facing the country of his birth for the very first time.
