Despite his choice for Italy, Cher Ndour: 'I will support Senegal at the 2026 World Cup'

Cher Ndour, a 21-year-old Fiorentina midfielder, has chosen to represent Italy over Senegal internationally. He received his first call-up to the Italian national team for friendlies against Luxembourg and Greece. Despite this decision, he says he will support Senegal during the 2026 World Cup due to his Senegalese roots through his father. Ndour scored seven goals and provided three assists in 47 matches this season for Fiorentina.
