7.2. Africa Cup of Nations

In the past, Senegal was viewed as an insecure side of the thriving West African region. While they were able to finish in fourth position during the two AFCON instances, Senegalese performance was overall not considered as good. Senegal continued to be in its shadow West African giants Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Ghana for most in the latter half of 20th Century.

In the early 2000s, Senegal began to surge and became a stronger rival at the Africa Cup of Nations. After a highly success in their FIFA World Cup debut in 2002, when the team reached the quarter-finals, Senegal established itself as an emerging powerhouse in Africa. In 2002, the Africa Cup of Nations tournament ended in a loss to Cameroon with a score of 3-1 after an unsuccessful game in the championship. Senegal ended up finishing as runners-up in the year 2019, losing the final 1-0 to Algeria but then finally winning their very first AFCON victory in the 2021 edition.
