Senegal Women's Basketball Team Cancels Trip to US After Players and Staff Have Visas Denied

Several members of the Senegal Women's Basketball team were denied visas to enter the United States to take part in a training camp. In response, the team cancelled its training camp visit and instead will hold its training camp in Senegal's capital, Dakar. The Senegal Basketball Federation said that two members of the federation, a doctor, a physical therapist, five players, the GM, a steward, and a "ministerial delegate" were all denied entry. Senegal is not currently on the list of countries from which travel is banned. The State Department didn't give a reason for the denials.
