Team Overview
African champions Senegal are among the continent's most dangerous World Cup sides. Under Aliou Cissé — himself a veteran of 2002 — the Lions of Teranga play aggressive, high-energy football led by the indomitable Sadio Mané. Having won the 2022 AFCON, Senegal carry a winning mentality that makes them genuine dark-horse contenders.
