Equipe du Sénégal : Sadio Mané peut déjà dépasser Samuel Eto’o
Sadio Mané continue d’écrire sa légende avec le Sénégal. Auteur d’un doublé ce dimanche lors du match amical face aux États-Unis, l’attaquant des Lions de la Teranga se rapproche désormais d’un record détenu par la légende camerounaise Samuel Eto’o.
Grâce à ses deux réalisations contre les Américains, l’ancien joueur de Liverpool totalise désormais 55 buts sous les couleurs sénégalaises. Un chiffre impressionnant qui lui permet de consolider sa place parmi les meilleurs buteurs de l’histoire des sélections africaines.
Dans ce classement prestigieux, Samuel Eto’o occupe actuellement la troisième place avec 56 buts inscrits avec le Cameroun. Devant lui, on retrouve Didier Drogba avec 63 réalisations pour la Côte d’Ivoire, tandis que Mohamed Salah domine le classement avec 65 buts avec l’Égypte. Avec seulement une longueur de retard sur Eto’o, Sadio Mané pourrait rapidement égaler, voire dépasser, le record du quadruple Ballon d’Or africain lors des prochains matchs du Sénégal. Une performance qui confirmerait encore un peu plus son immense impact dans l’histoire du football africain.
À 34 ans, l’attaquant sénégalais reste l’un des leaders incontournables de sa sélection. Et au vu de sa forme actuelle, le record de Samuel Eto’o semble plus menacé que jamais. Face à l’Arabie Saoudite en amical, il pourrait déjà s’illustrer.

Here’s how much the Southern Guards GC earned at LIV Golf Korea
Chile’s Joaquin Niemann outlasted American Talor Gooch in a playoff to win LIV Golf Korea on Sunday, as Bryson DeChambeau fell just short with a final-day charge.
Niemann birdied the par-4 first extra hole at Asiad Country Club in Busan after a sublime approach shot to claim his first win of the season on the troubled breakaway circuit.
Cease bankrolling
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced last month that it would cease bankrolling LIV after the 2026 season.
PIF had reportedly ploughed more than $5 billion dollars into the breakaway circuit since it was founded in 2021.
Niemann claimed a record-extending eighth career victory on the circuit, which was once again worth a cool $4 million.
Two-time major champion DeChambeau finished one stroke behind Niemann and Gooch after a 5-under-par final round.
Meanwhile, on the team front, DeChambeau’s Crushers GC – with Travis Smyth in for an injured Paul Casey – defended their title.
Best-placed
For the all-South African Southern Guards GC line-up, it wasn’t the best of outings.
Branden Grace was best-placed in the individual competition, finishing tied-12th on six-under par which earned him $330 000 (R5.4 million).
Dean Burmester was next best in a tie of 23rd on two-under par which saw him bank $193 333 (R3.1 million).
Charl Schwartzel ended in a tie for 34th on level par which saw him walk away $147 500 (R2.4 million) richer, while Louis Oosthuizen finished on one-over par in a share for 37th place, which was good enough for a cheque of $138 750 (R2.3 million).
In the team competition, the Southern Guards GC team finished seventh out of 13 team on a cumulative score of seven-under par – 16 shots behind the winning Crushers GC outfit – and shared $550 000 (R8.9 million), which worked out at $137 500 (R2.2 million) each.

Building For AFCON 2027! McCarthy Forced Into Late Squad Overhaul Ahead of Harambee Stars Camp
NAIROBI, Kenya, June 1 – It is a period of intense transition, tactical fluidity, and heavy character testing for the Kenya National Men’s Football Team Harambee Stars.
With significant fixture disruptions and late-notice roster shakeups dominating the headlines, the Harambee Stars are navigating a crucial evolutionary phase.
Head coach Benni McCarthy is actively utilizing this window to deepen Kenya’s tactical pool, test squad resilience, and unearth the defining core capable of carrying the nation into the historic AFCON 2027 tournament on home soil.
The latest final squad roster for the upcoming international friendlies scheduled for June 4th and 7th reveals forced changes that have occurred as the team finalizes preparations to enter residential training camp.
These late adjustments have inadvertently cracked open the door for a brand new wave of talent.
Unforeseen circumstances and late adjustments just before the players report to camp have seen the sudden departures of striker Ryan Ogam, midfielder Job Ochieng, and seasoned goalkeeper Byrne Omondi.
However, their untimely exits have paved the way for massive reinforcement. Polokwane City’s Brian Bwire steps directly into the goalkeeping department to fill the void, joining Faruk Shikhalo and ADO Den Haag’s Caleb Kramer.
Meanwhile, the highly experienced Amos Nondi returns to the fold to inject much-needed defensive steel and international maturity into the middle of the park.
Perhaps the most exciting storyline of this late pre-camp adjustment is the inclusion of AFC Leopards midfield maestro Kelly Madada.
Madada’s call-up is seen as a direct meritocratic reward following a thoroughly spectacular and standout domestic campaign in the Kenyan Premier League.
His technical brilliance and creative spark caught the eye of the national team scouts, and he now has the ultimate platform to translate his domestic masterclasses onto the international stage alongside midfield anchors like Richard Odada and Chris Erambo.
Coach McCarthy’s latest selection clearly leans into a youthful, highly hungry overseas and local contingent.
With defensive stalwarts like Erick Ouma and emerging prospects like Sydney Agina alongside an attack featuring Austine Odhiambo and Hull City’s Sammy Hena-Kamau, the objective is crystal clear.
This phase isn’t just about winning immediate friendly matches; it is about building a robust, deep, and fearless ecosystem. As the team hits camp ahead of the June 4th and 7th assignments, the fresh faces have a golden opportunity to prove that they possess the mental fortitude and elite quality required to anchor Kenya’s AFCON 2027 ambitions.
