Ibrahim Mbaye, the promise shining with Senegal and challenging France

Soccer player Ibrahim Mbaye, born in Trappes in 2008, has taken an unexpected turn in his career by choosing to play for the Senegal national team instead of continuing with France, where he had been capped at youth levels. This decision, driven by his heart, has led Mbaye to shine with 'the Teranga Lions' and to make history in the Africa Cup, becoming the youngest Senegalese to participate and score in the competition.

A promising future with Senegal

After debuting with a loss against Brazil, Mbaye stood out in the Africa Cup, being instrumental in the team despite the final loss in the offices. Coach Pape Thiaw praised his talent and youth, highlighting his potential as a gem to nurture in African football.

The challenge of shining in the World Cup

Despite being overlooked at Paris Saint-Germain, Mbaye seized his opportunity in the World Cup to prove his worth. Substituting for Ismaïla Sarr, the young forward scored a historic goal against France, becoming the youngest African to score in a World Cup, surpassing previous records of renowned players. This achievement could alter his role in the Senegalese national team and pave the way to a starting position.
