Coach Lamine N'Diaye is greatly criticized for non-selections of Mamadou Niang, Khalilou Fadiga who finds form in Belgium and Souleymane Diawara, he is also criticized for playing El Hadji Diouf in center forward as he is Best on the side and not to put an offensive medium to feed the balloonless fronts (hence the demand for Fadiga).


Senegal faced Egypt twice after the AFCON final, eliminating the Egyptians on penalties after being tied 1–1 on aggregate, to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Mané eliminated his ] teammate ] after scoring the winning penalty again.<ref>{{cite web |title=Senegal vs. Egypt |url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/match/_/gameId/629216 |website=ESPN |access-date=29 March 2022}}</ref>
A bit like in France, almost all Senegalese want N'Diaye to resign, the federation thinks of it and some names appear, like the former selectors Abdoulaye Sarr, Bruno Metsu and others.
The penalty shoot-out was however full of controversies with lasers being pointed at Egypt's penalty takers and goalkeeper. FIFA fined Senegal's football federation 175,000 Swiss francs as a result of the fan disorder.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/senegal-punished-fifa-after-salah-laser-crowd-trouble-world-cup-play-off-egypt/blt1d0ed43fd684a223|title=Senegal punished by FIFA after Salah laser-pointing incident & crowd trouble in World Cup play-off win over Egypt &#124; Goal.com US|date=2 May 2022|website=www.goal.com}}</ref>


For the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Senegal were drawn in Group A along with the hosts Qatar, ] and the Netherlands. Star man Mané missed out due to injury, but Senegal managed to progress from the group nonetheless. Though they lost their first game against the Netherlands 2–0, Senegal went on to claim six points against the hosts and then Ecuador in their final game, progressing to the Round of 16, where they lost 3–0 to ]. It marked the second time Senegal had progressed past the group stage, in only their third appearance.
Senegal played a key match in Algeria on 5 September . Senegal scored the first goal, but they scored 3 in 12 minutes, they managed to reduce the score by the end of the game (3–2).


==Kit history==
It is the crisis, Lamine N'Diaye has to make a change for the final match against Gambia, the names of Niang, Khalilou Fadiga and Diawara come back. But the coach persists, he selects Khalilou Fadiga but once again abandons Mamadou Niang and Souleymane Diawara, it would be players who would have "obliged" N'Diaye not to select them.

] has been the manufacturer of Senegal's kits since 2005 (except 2017, when Romai was the manufacturer). The home kit is typically white, and the away kit is green.
On 11 October, Senegal played the final match against The Gambia. Any other result that a victory would eliminate them, they must win to hope to be among the best second.


]
Khalilou Fadiga is aligned, Senegal mark the 65 th minute by Kader Mangane . But the Gambians are pushing, insisting, creating opportunities and the inevitable happens, the Gambians mark 5 minutes from the end and Senegal fails to score another goal. Final score: 1–1.

==Results and fixtures==
This is the riot in Senegal. The sad and furious supporters demonstrate around the Stadium Léopold Sédar Senghor . The area around the stadium is covered with smoke, while Senegalese and Gambian players have been locked in the locker room for fear of suffering the fans' anger. Lamine N'Diaye cancels his press conference. The mobile intervention group hardly contain the young people who refuse to return, and wait for players and technical staff with stones.

==Coaching staff==
Lamine N'Diaye is no longer sure to remain a coach, and the 2002 generation could be replaced. It is a great shock for Senegal that after 2002, never really managed to confirm its position as a great African. The Lions will have to wait at least 2 years to redo official matches and to improve the Senegalese coat of arms.

===Coaching history===
N'Diaye is dismissed and Senegal is looking for a new coach. The names returning with insistence are those of Ablaye Sarr and Amara Traoré . 30 August, Augustin Senghor is elected president of the Senegalese Football Federation. El Hadji Diouf takes even international retirement, but the news does not create many reactions, some believing it to be a joke (the announcement was held on 1 st April 2009) or Diouf is still A blow to denounce the bad organization of the federation, Diouf denounces regularly the lack of organization in the den. Senegal has two exhibition games againstDemocratic Republic of Congo (victory 2–1) and Angola (1–1). Note in the den the return of Mamadou Niang and Souleymane Diawara (2 personalities in conflict with Diouf according to the press that Niang has denied) and new faces ( Issiar Dia, Kader Mangane, Rémi Gomis, Cheikh Tidiane Ndiaye, Moussa Sow, Papiss Cissé , Jacques Faty, Demba Ba and others). The 2002 generation seems to have disappeared (even if a doubt persists on El-Hadji Diouf ).

==Players==
In December 2009, Amara Traoré was named a new lions coach, with Abdoulaye Sarr and Mayacine Mar as assistant coach. Former Lions Ferdinand Coly was named Coordinator of the national team. A new talented wave seems to have arrived ( Mame Biram Diouf, Khouma Babacar, Rémi Gomis, Moussa Sow ...) and the desire of certain bi-nationals to play in Senegal rather than in France ( Jacques Faty, Édouard Cissé ...), Senegal seems finally to rebuild after this period of scarcity and hopes to form a talented team in view of the CAN 2012 and 2014 and theSoccer World Cup 2014 . The former star El-Hadji Diouf is ready to return to his best level to help the national team, the opinions on the necessity of his return being very divided. Moreover, it is soon the 2014 World Cup and the Senegal of General Amara Traore will try to qualify because the wish of Amara Traoré is to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, with this group there Senegal can even go beyond that of 2002, now there are the Dame N'Doye, Moussa Sow, Demba Ba Papiss Cissé , Kader Mangane ...


===Current squad===
===A generation of rebirth, but hardly to be confirmed (2010–)===
The following players were called up for the ] matches against ] on 11 and 15 October 2024.<ref>{{cite web |title=Final Squad |url=https://www.facebook.com/fsfOfficielle/posts/pfbid02gN9eW89nbbGznjSagCK2vxBpegWRw1kzfuv8UuUFP2swvnsEdRLA14Ajxd1nebrfl |website=Facebook |publisher=Fédération Sénégalaise de Football}}</ref>
Senegal started a good year 2010 under the Traoré era, which had 6 wins and 1 defeat (Greece 2–0, Denmark 0–2, Cape Verde 1–0, DR Congo 4–2, Mauritius 7–0, Gabon 2 -1, Guinea 3–0) the qualifiers for the CAN 2012 started in September 2010. Senegal, which shared its pool (Group 5) with Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo made a good start by beating the DR Congo (4–2) in Lubumb ashi, with a triple of his captain Mamadou Niang, the latter signed a double one month against Mauritius on 8 October 2010 in Dakar with the triple of Papis Demba Cissé and two other goals (Moussa Sow and Demba Ba) to win 7 to 0, the biggest score in the den of Leopold Sedar Senghor. On 26 March 2011,91 th minute on a center of Issiar Dia who changed the physiognomy of the match as soon as it entered 5 minutes from the end.


''Caps and goals updated as of 9 September 2024, after the match against {{fb|BDI}}.''
On 9 October 2011, in Port Louis, Senegal played their last qualifying match for CAN 2012, finishing first in their group with 16 points out of 18 possible with only 2 goals conceded. Senegal is one of the favorites to go as far as possible in this competition with players such as Moussa Sow (Top scorer in Ligue 1 2010/2011), Papiss Cissé (second best scorer in the Bundesliga 2010/2011), Mamadou Niang, Demba Ba, Issiar Dia (Turkish champion in 2011) but also defensive rocks such as Cheikh M'Bengue, Souleymane Diawara, Kader Mangane, Lamine Gassama, The neo-lion Armand Traoré very good in his debut in national team.

While Senegal is floundering in this period, a controversy remains about the return of El-Hadji Diouf in selection. Performing in England, the former star affirms his desire to return, but many oppose it. If some like Ferdinand Coly think that Diouf could still bring much to the team, others like Lamine Diack (leader) and the journalist and writer Cheikh Mbacké Sène among others strongly oppose, thinking that Diouf is a "Bad Boy " first of all. So, despite the renewed form of El Hadji Diouf in the championship, given the good results of Senegal, a return seems unlikely. Nevertheless, Amara Traoré remains elusive on the subject.

The Senegal national football team (French: Équipe de football du Senegal), nicknamed Les Lions de la Teranga (meaning: The Lions of Teranga), represents Senegal in international association football and is operated by the Senegalese Football Federation.

One of Africa's most famous national football teams, Senegal reached the quarter-finals of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the second team from Africa to do so (after Cameroon in 1990). They managed to upset defending world champions France, finish second in their group, and beat Sweden in extra time in the round of 16, before losing to Turkey in the quarter-finals.

Senegal's first appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations was in 1965, when they lost 1–0 to Ivory Coast for fourth place. They hosted the 1992 African Cup of Nations, where they made it to the quarter-finals, and finished as runners-up in both 2002 and 2019. Senegal would finally win their first AFCON title in 2021, defeating Egypt in the final on penalties following a 0–0 draw after extra time.

Along with Norway, Senegal is one of very few national football teams never to have lost against Brazil, having one win and one draw in friendly matches.

History

Early history

Senegal gained its independence from France on 4 April 1960, and the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) was founded that year. The first Senegal match took place on 31 December 1961 against Dahomey (now Benin), a 3–2 loss. The FSF has been affiliated with FIFA since 1962 and has been a member of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) since 1963. Senegal's first appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations was in 1965, where they finished second in their group, and lost 1–0 to Ivory Coast to finish in fourth place. After a group stage exit at the AFCON three years later, they would not qualify for the tournament until 1986.

1990s and 2000s

In the 1990 Africa Cup of Nations, Senegal finished fourth; they hosted the 1992 tournament, where after finishing second in their group, they were eliminated by Cameroon in the quarterfinals. Senegal lost the 2002 final on a penalty shoot-out after drawing 0–0 with Cameroon. Later that year, Senegal made their debut appearance at the World Cup. After defeating defending world champions France in their opening game, they drew with Denmark and Uruguay to progress from the group stage, then beat Sweden in extra time in the round of 16 to reach the quarter-finals, one of only four African teams to do so (alongside Cameroon in 1990, Ghana in 2010 and Morocco in 2022). There, they lost to Turkey in extra time.

Senegal qualified for the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations, but finished third in their group with two points. They failed to make the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, the first World Cup to be held in Africa.

2010s

Senegal was eliminated from the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations with zero wins and zero points.

After former manager Bruno Metsu died on 14 October 2013, many Senegalese players were recalled to appear and have a moment of silence in memory of the manager who helped them reach the quarter-final in the 2002 World Cup. All activities of the national league and the national team were suspended for a few days in his memory.

The West African nation narrowly missed the 2014 FIFA World Cup after losing in a round-robin match against Ivory Coast in the final qualification round. Senegal qualified for two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments before the next World Cup, being eliminated in the group stage in 2015 and reaching the quarterfinals in 2017. On 10 November 2017, after defeating South Africa 2–0, Senegal qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, their first since 2002. Senegal defeated Poland 2–1 in their opening group match, thanks to an own goal by Thiago Cionek and a M'Baye Niang strike. In the next group stage match, Senegal drew 2–2 against Japan, with goals from Sadio Mané and Moussa Wagué. A 1–0 loss to Colombia in their final match meant they finished level on points with Japan, who progressed thanks to a superior fair play record. Thus, Senegal was eliminated in the group stage for the first time in its World Cup history.

Aliou Cissé, who participated in the 2002 AFCON, managed Senegal to a runner-up campaign in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. Having lost 1–0 to Algeria earlier in the tournament, Senegal lost 1–0 to them again in the final.

2020s

Deprived of many players due to COVID-19, Senegal participated in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, postponed to 2022 because of the pandemic; they beat Zimbabwe in their first match 1–0 and drew their next two games, enough to finish first in their group. In the round of 16, Senegal faced Cape Verde. Mané recorded a shot that hit the post in the first minute. Patrick Andrade was sent off in the 21st minute, after intervention of the video assistant referee. Despite their dominance, the first half ended without a single shot on target; Mané opened the scoring a few minutes into the second half, following a corner.

Senegal faced Equatorial Guinea in the quarter-finals. The Lions opened the scoring half an hour into the game, by Famara Diédhiou on a pass from Mané; Senegal eventually won 3–1. In the semi-finals, Senegal faced Burkina Faso, winning 3–1 again. In the final, Senegal faced Egypt, who eliminated hosts Cameroon in the semi-finals. In a penalty shoot-out, Mané scored the winning penalty, to bring Senegal its first Africa Cup of Nations title. Senegal returned home and took part in a victory parade that took place in the capital, Dakar. It ended up becoming the biggest party in the country's history.

Senegal faced Egypt twice after the AFCON final, eliminating the Egyptians on penalties after being tied 1–1 on aggregate, to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Mané eliminated his Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah after scoring the winning penalty again. The penalty shoot-out was however full of controversies with lasers being pointed at Egypt's penalty takers and goalkeeper. FIFA fined Senegal's football federation 175,000 Swiss francs as a result of the fan disorder.

For the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Senegal were drawn in Group A along with the hosts Qatar, Ecuador and the Netherlands. Star man Mané missed out due to injury, but Senegal managed to progress from the group nonetheless. Though they lost their first game against the Netherlands 2–0, Senegal went on to claim six points against the hosts and then Ecuador in their final game, progressing to the Round of 16, where they lost 3–0 to England. It marked the second time Senegal had progressed past the group stage, in only their third appearance.

Africa Cup of Nations

Main article: Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations

Historically, Senegal was seen as a weaker side in the strong West African region. Although they finished in fourth place in two AFCON editions, Senegalese performance was overall still deemed as poor. Senegal remained under the shadow of West African giants Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Ghana for the majority of the 20th century.

In the 2000s, Senegal began to surge and became a more competitive opponent in the Africa Cup of Nations. Following a successful FIFA World Cup debut in 2002, in which the side reached the quarter-finals, Senegal established itself as a new powerhouse in Africa. The 2002 Africa Cup of Nations tournament marked a defeat to Cameroon 2–3 on penalties after a goalless draw in the final. Senegal once again finished as runners-up in 2019, losing the final 0–1 to Algeria, and finally won their first AFCON title in 2021.
