The Senegal national football team, known as the Lions of Teranga, is scheduled to play an international friendly against Peru on Saturday, March 29, 2026. The match will be held at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes, France, with kickoff set for 16:00 GMT.
This fixture serves as a preparation match for both teams ahead of their upcoming continental and World Cup qualifying campaigns. Senegal, the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations champions, are rebuilding under new coach Aliou CissΓ© following their failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Peru, managed by Jorge Fossati, is also using the match to test players and tactics as they look to improve their form in South American qualifiers. The encounter marks the first-ever meeting between the two national teams at the senior level.
The Senegalese squad features several Europe-based stars, including captain Kalidou Koulibaly, who will lead the team in this friendly contest. The match is expected to draw a significant crowd, particularly from the Senegalese diaspora in France.
