US basketball training for Senegal cancelled after visas rejected

The Senegalese women's basketball team's training camp in the US was canceled due to visa rejections, leading to the decision to train in Dakar instead. The visas were denied for five players and 13 officials heading to the US for the 2025 Women's AfroBasket tournament warm-up. The reasons for the visa refusals remain unclear, despite diplomatic cables revealing potential concerns prompting extended travel restrictions on several countries.
