Youssou N’Dour on Senegal, Vieira & the Africa Cup of Nations

International music star and committed singer, Youssou N’Dour is also a true “football addict”. The author of the eternal “7 seconds”, who knows the latest football news like the back of his hand, followed the progress of this African Cup of Nations with all the more delight since “his” Senegal, as he hoped, reached the final.

Before sitting in front of his screen to attend the meeting against Morocco, Sunday evening (8 p.m.), the Senegalese idol gave us his impressions and some tasty anecdotes.
