Paul Pogba

 Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has arrived in Senegal and paid a visit to the renowned mosque in Tivaouane, a city in the northwest that holds significance for the Sufi-Muslim Tijaniyah sect, reports Sport Brief. Pogba, known for his devout Muslim beliefs, was spotted in Dakar before traveling to Tivaouane, where he explored the iconic mosque. While the purpose of Pogba's trip to Senegal remains unclear, it is speculated to be a religious pilgrimage.

The French footballer has previously been vocal about his faith and has undertaken the Islamic pilgrimage known as Umrah in Mecca. Pogba's presence in Senegal coincides with his period of absence from the field due to injury and a four-year ban for a doping violation, which he is currently appealing.

Pogba's visit to Tivaouane has sparked excitement among Senegalese fans, who have taken to social media to extend their warm welcome to the midfielder. The mosque in Tivaouane holds significant religious importance in Senegal, drawing visitors from various parts of the world.
