Senegal faces Brazil for the third time in a friendly this Saturday, November 15, 2025 at 16:00 GMT at the Emirates Stadium in London.

The Lions of Teranga boast a positive record against the Seleção, with a 1-1 draw in 2019 and a thrilling 4-2 victory in 2023.

While Senegal’s starting eleven has evolved over time, a few players who shone in those previous encounters are still in the mix and are vying for a spot in the starting lineup this Saturday.

Edouard Mendy will be the starting goalkeeper against Brazil for the first time. In fact, Alfred Gomis was between the sticks in 2019, while Mory Diaw was the number one in 2023.

Only three players have started in both of the previous meetings and are well on track to make it three in a row: Kalidou Koulibaly in defense, and Sadio Mané and Ismaila Sarr on the wings.

Senegal’s starting XI vs Brazil in 2019: Gomis, Gassama, Sané, Koulibaly, Coly, Kouyaté, Sarr, Diatta, Gueye, Mané, and Diedhiou.

Senegal’s starting XI vs Brazil in 2023: Diaw, Sabaly, Koulibaly, Niakhaté, Jakobs, Ciss, Mendy, Gueye, Sarr, Diallo, Mané.
