Senegal Women's Basketball Team Faces Visa Rejections Amid US Travel Restrictions
The Senegal women's basketball team had to cancel their U.S. training plans for the upcoming AfroBasket tournament after several players and officials were denied visas, with the team now training in Dakar instead. The visa refusals occurred despite Senegal not being on the U.S. travel ban list, and the reasons remain unclear. The team, a strong contender in African basketball, was set to prepare in the U.S. from June 22 to July 3.
