History

Senegal stunned defending champions France 1-0 in the opening match of the 2002 World Cup. Papa Bouba Diop scored the goal and celebrated with the now-iconic shirt-on-the-ground dance.

Record

Senegal won their first Africa Cup of Nations in 2022 after decades as perennial contenders. Sadio Mané scored the winning penalty in the shootout against Egypt in the final.

Culture

Senegalese football is built on 'teranga' — a Wolof word meaning hospitality. Fans are known for their drumming, dancing, and warm welcome to visiting supporters at every international match.
