Medal record
|
The Senegal national football team, also known as Les Lions de la Teranga (meaning The Lions of Teranga), represents Senegal in international football. The team is managed by the Senegalese Football Federation.
Senegal is one of Africa's most famous national football teams. They made it to the quarter-finals of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. This made them the second African team to reach this stage, after Cameroon in 1990. They surprised the world by beating the defending champions France. They also finished second in their group and won against Sweden in extra time. They eventually lost to Turkey in the quarter-finals.
Senegal first played in the Africa Cup of Nations in 1965. They finished fourth in that tournament. They hosted the 1992 African Cup of Nations and reached the quarter-finals. They were also runners-up in 2002 and 2019. Finally, Senegal won their first Africa Cup of Nations title in 2021. They beat Egypt in the final after a penalty shootout.
Interestingly, Senegal is one of the few national football teams that has never lost to Brazil. They have one win and one draw against Brazil in friendly matches.

Team History: Senegal's Football Journey
Early Days of Senegalese Football
Senegal became independent from France on April 4, 1960. The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) was created that same year. Senegal's first football match was on December 31, 1961, against Dahomey (now Benin), which they lost 3–2. The FSF joined FIFA in 1962 and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in 1963.
Senegal's first time playing in the Africa Cup of Nations was in 1965. They finished second in their group and ended up in fourth place after losing to Ivory Coast. After another early exit in 1968, they did not qualify for the tournament again until 1986.
Success in the 1990s and 2000s
In the 1990 Africa Cup of Nations, Senegal finished fourth. They hosted the 1992 tournament, where they reached the quarter-finals but were knocked out by Cameroon.
In 2002, Senegal lost the final to Cameroon in a penalty shootout. Later that year, Senegal played in their first ever World Cup. They surprised everyone by beating the defending champions France in their first game. They then drew with Denmark and Uruguay to move past the group stage. In the round of 16, they beat Sweden in extra time to reach the quarter-finals. They were only the second African team to do so at that time. They eventually lost to Turkey in extra time.
Senegal qualified for the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations but did not make it past the group stage. They also failed to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2010s: Ups and Downs
Senegal had a tough time in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, losing all their games.
After their former coach, Bruno Metsu, passed away in 2013, many Senegalese players honored him. He was the coach who led them to the quarter-finals in the 2002 World Cup.
Senegal almost made it to the 2014 FIFA World Cup but lost to Ivory Coast in the final qualification round. They played in two more Africa Cup of Nations tournaments before the next World Cup. They were eliminated in the group stage in 2015 and reached the quarter-finals in 2017.
On November 10, 2017, Senegal qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup after beating South Africa. This was their first World Cup since 2002. They won their first group match against Poland 2–1. They then drew 2–2 with Japan. However, a 1–0 loss to Colombia meant they were eliminated from the group stage.
Aliou Cissé, who played in the 2002 Africa Cup of Nations, coached Senegal to the final of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. They lost 1–0 to Algeria in the final, after also losing to them earlier in the tournament.
Recent Triumphs in the 2020s
Even with many players out due to COVID-19, Senegal played in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (which was held in 2022). They won their first match against Zimbabwe 1–0 and drew their next two games, finishing first in their group. In the round of 16, they beat Cape Verde.
Senegal then faced Equatorial Guinea in the quarter-finals and won 3–1. In the semi-finals, they beat Burkina Faso by the same score. In the final, Senegal played against Egypt. In a penalty shootout, Sadio Mané scored the winning penalty, giving Senegal their first Africa Cup of Nations title! The team returned home to a huge victory parade in Dakar.
After the AFCON final, Senegal played Egypt twice more to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. They won again on penalties, with Mané scoring the winning penalty against his Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah.
For the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Senegal was in Group A with Qatar, Ecuador, and the Netherlands. Even though their star player Mané was injured, Senegal still made it out of the group. They lost their first game to the Netherlands 2–0, but then earned six points by beating Qatar and Ecuador. They reached the Round of 16, where they lost 3–0 to England. This was the second time Senegal had passed the group stage in only three World Cup appearances.

Africa Cup of Nations History
For a long time, Senegal was not seen as a very strong team in West Africa. Even though they finished fourth in two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, their overall performance was not great. They were often overshadowed by teams like Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Ghana.
In the 2000s, Senegal started to get much better and became a strong competitor. After their amazing performance in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Senegal became a new football powerhouse in Africa. In the 2002 Africa Cup of Nations tournament, they lost to Cameroon in a penalty shootout in the final. Senegal finished as runners-up again in 2019, losing the final 0–1 to Algeria. Finally, they won their first Africa Cup of Nations title in 2021!
