« Quand le Sénégal a battu la France… » : Zohran Mamdani, le maire de New York, évoque son meilleur souvenir foot
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani recalled his best football memory on the sidelines of the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
We didn't think Zohran Mamdani's best football memory would be a defeat for the French national team. And yet. On the sidelines of the Africa Cup of Nations taking place in Morocco, the mayor of New York shared his best memory related to African football.
"It wasn't at the AFCON, but it's still African football. Usually, my father never let me be late for school, but in 2002, when Senegal beat France in the opening match (of the World Cup)... Well, I was late," the 34-year-old politician laughed to the Egyptian and American channel Pharaohtalks.
Mamdani had a word for Uganda
The mayor of New York, who is also a big Arsenal fan, also spoke about his favorite players from that era: "Papa Bouba Diop, 1-0, one of my best memories. That Senegalese team, with Henri Camara, Khalilou Fadiga, El-Hadji Diouf, those are defining memories of my youth." France, the reigning world champions and winners of the European Championship, were eliminated in the group stage of the 2002 World Cup after this defeat against Senegal (1-0).
Born in Uganda, Zohran Mamdani also had a word for the nation, which was defeated by Tunisia (3-1) in its opening match of the Africa Cup of Nations. And for him, Uganda could go far: "I'm quite optimistic about qualifying, perhaps with a third-place finish in their group." The Ugandan "Cranes" still have to face Tanzania and Nigeria.
