The Comoros will play Senegal for the first time at senior international level when the teams meet in an international friendly at the CEPAC Velodrome in Marseille on Sunday, 4 October 2026.
Kick-off is scheduled for 13:00 GMT. The match will be broadcast by RTS 1, Canal+ Sport Afrique and beIN SPORTS.
The fixture represents a first-ever meeting between the two national sides, with Senegal having never previously faced Comoros. Its novelty could provide the starting point for a future rivalry between the teams.
Contrasting starts to 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying
Comoros, known as the Cœlacanthes, are in Group G of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. They opened their campaign with a 3-1 defeat by Cameroon but responded with a 1-0 victory against Namibia.
Those results leave Comoros second in the group on three points, directly behind Cameroon. The friendly against Senegal will offer another test as they prepare for their upcoming fixtures.
Senegal began their Group J qualifying campaign with a 1-1 draw against Mozambique before recording a 1-0 win over Ethiopia. The Lions of Teranga have four points from their first two matches and sit second in the standings, level with Mozambique.
The match will give Senegal an opportunity to assess the squad ahead of their next competitive commitments.
Senegal favourites on paper
Senegal go into the game as the clear favourites, according to Africafoot’s assessment. Their greater experience, the momentum created by the victory over Ethiopia and a squad led from the bench by Patrick Vieira are viewed as advantages.
Comoros are still rebuilding and have shown inconsistency, while Senegal are considered better equipped to control the match. Their physical strength and attacking quality could prove decisive.
Africafoot’s prediction is a 3-1 victory for Senegal.
The betting company 1xbet lists Comoros at 5.00 to win, with a draw priced at 3.30 and a Senegal victory at 1.70.
