🤦‍♂️ Incredible, but true: Senegal doctor was a gynaecologist! | OneFootball

The bizarre cases don’t end at the 2026 World Cup, and as the next world champion is close to being decided, controversy has returned around Senegal and its medical staff. 

Abdoulaye Fall, president of the Senegalese Football Federation, attended a press conference meant to explain the team’s performance and the different areas involved in the top competition. And there, he made a confession: the doctor, Abdourahmane Alfred Fedior, who accompanied the national team for 10 years, was a gynecologist!

"In fact, our head doctor does not have the academic background required to treat our athletes. Dr. Fedior is a trained gynecologist, something I also found out late," he revealed. 

Likewise, Fall stated that "the players did not have full confidence in relying on him or in having him continuously oversee their care." 

The controversy is still alive following the resignation of Sadio Mané and Pape Gueye, as long as the same coaching staff remained in place, then led by Pape Thiaw.
