AFCON history
Senegal's only confirmed title came in 2021. They reached the final again at AFCON 2025 and won 1-0 in extra time against hosts Morocco — but the result is currently under dispute (see note below) after CAF's Appeal Board later ruled the match forfeited.
Title years: 2021
AFCON 2025
Won the AFCON 2025 final 1-0 against Morocco on the pitch. CAF's Appeal Board later overturned this, awarding Morocco a 3-0 forfeit win; Senegal has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the matter remains unresolved.
Following Senegal in East Africa
Senegal's diaspora in France, the wider EU and North America travels in serious numbers for major tournaments — expect Senegalese support to be among the loudest at any venue they're drawn to.
