00:00Senegal will make you want to explore the other countries in Africa.
00:04We are on West 116th Street, the heart of little Senegal.
00:09People are ready to see France versus Senegal.
00:11Senegal's opening game at the 2026 World Cup.
00:14We're going around asking people what it means to be in this community.
00:16Diaspora home away from home.
00:18This is Senegal's first game. Let's talk to people.
00:20All of us are here on one, you know what I mean?
00:22Like, nothing can stop us. It doesn't matter where we are.
00:25We're always going to be here.
00:27Far, far from home, away from home, at home, you know,
00:30we're always going to support our Lions, you know what I mean?
00:32So, this is everything for us.
00:34And especially the fact that we're in New York
00:36and they're playing in New York is everything.
00:38What does this community mean to you?
00:39It means a lot because as a Senegalese, like,
00:42I live in the Bronx, but I always come here.
00:44Whenever there's games or, like, even on weekends if I'm off,
00:47I just come here because I see my people and also, it's fun.
00:51You can go to restaurants, get food, but also, like,
00:53just have fun with Senegalese, yeah.
00:55Everything.
00:56Sajamana is like a world for us, Senegal, you know?
01:00It's like it means everything.
01:01Sajamana has done everything for Senegal.
01:03Right.
01:03And, you know, we are so exciting to have money in our country.
01:08I want a lot of people to understand that Senegal is a beautiful country.
01:14To visit, if you can go visit it.
01:17But if you can, the other thing that I have to say is try Senegalese food.
01:20It's amazing.
01:21I'm proud.
01:22I'm very happy.
01:23Everybody, I wish for the best.
01:25Senegal, first Senegal.
01:27Senegal.
01:27Right.
01:27Senegal will make you want to explore the other countries in Africa
01:32and make you want to continue your journey and see the other beautiful things
01:38that are out there in the world, you know what I mean?
01:40Amazing.
01:40Just because it starts in Senegal doesn't mean it ends in Senegal.
