The Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Paris, was illuminated in the green, yellow, and red colors of the Senegalese flag on the evening of March 28, 2026. The lighting was in honor of the Senegal national football team, who played a friendly match at the stadium against Bolivia.
The match, which ended in a 2-0 victory for Senegal, served as a final preparation for the team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The stadium's iconic arch and facade were lit up, prominently featuring the two stars representing Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations titles from 2021 and 2025.
This event follows a tradition where the Stade de France is illuminated for visiting national teams or during significant international sporting events held at the venue. The Senegalese Football Federation and local organizers coordinated the display to welcome the team and its supporters.
The visual spectacle was widely shared on social media, celebrating Senegalese football and its achievements on an international stage in France.
