L’Équipe Debunks Fake AI Letter: Mané Hasn’t Retired from International Football
A French sports publication has confirmed that Sadio Mané remains available for Senegal despite a viral retirement claim. The report explains the circulating letter was generated by AI and was republished in error by several outlets, including beIN Sports. According to sources cited by L’Équipe and a specialized African football outlet, the emotional wording attributed to the 34-year-old star was false. Mané never announced his exit from international football. The forward was named in coach Pape Thiaw’s squad for the World Cup, where Senegal bowed out in the Round of 32 amid off-pitch rumours about logistics and staff contracts.
