About This Match
Senegal face Iraq in the Group Stage of Group I on Friday, June 26, 2026. Senegal are ranked #15 in the world and managed by Aliou Cissé; Iraq sit at #57 under Jesús Casas. The match kicks off at 15:00 local time at BMO Field in Toronto.
Senegal
Senegal, reigning African champions, arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as one of the continent's most respected sides after their historic AFCON 2022 triumph. The Lions of Teranga, coached by Aliou Cissé - himself a player in the legendary 2002 squad that reached the quarter-finals as debutants - are led by the incomparable Sadio Mané and the commanding Kalidou Koulibaly. Group I against France, Norway, and Iraq is a tough group, but Senegal's experience and quality give them every chance of advancing. Mané's hunger for a World Cup deep run is well known, and this may be his final opportunity on the biggest stage.
Read Senegal preview →Iraq
Iraq make a historic return to the World Cup stage at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, ending a staggering 40-year absence since Mexico 1986 - one of the tournament's most remarkable comeback stories. The Lions of Mesopotamia, coached by Spanish tactician Jesús Casas, have steadily improved in Asian football, winning the 2023 Gulf Cup and performing competitively in AFC qualification. Group I against France, Senegal, and Norway is an enormously difficult draw that could test Iraq's defensive resolve game after game. But Iraq's qualification alone is a story of national pride, political resilience, and the enduring power of football to unite a nation that has faced extraordinary challenges.
