During that period, he has overseen the medical care of the Teranga Lions through numerous qualification campaigns and training camps, while also participating in five Africa Cup of Nations tournaments\u2014Gabon, Egypt, Cameroon, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire and Morocco\u2014and three FIFA World Cups in Russia, Qatar and the ongoing USA, Canada and Mexico edition.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the national team, ASMS noted that Dr F\u00e9diore previously served as Head of the Physiotherapy Department at Fann Hospital and has worked as a team doctor across several sports, including football, swimming, handball and cycling.<\/p>\n<p>Internationally, the statement said Dr F\u00e9diore has been a CAF and FIFA Medical Officer for several years, coordinating medical operations for numerous international matches involving both national teams and clubs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn view of his career and unwavering commitment to Senegalese, African and world football, the ASMS considers these remarks to be unfounded and defamatory,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>The association reaffirmed its \u201ctotal confidence\u201d in Dr F\u00e9diore and called on the FSF president to issue a public apology. It also warned that it reserves the right to pursue all necessary legal avenues to defend the honour and dignity of its member.<\/p>\n<p>The statement comes amid growing tensions within Senegalese football following the federation president\u2019s press conference, with the controversy now drawing a strong response from the country\u2019s sports medicine community.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Angu Lesley Football writer kick442.com &#8211; Cameroon The Senegalese Association of Sports Medicine&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":29391,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[139,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
