Edouard Mendy shared on his X (Twitter) handle that the recent international break had been highly valuable, allowing him to focus on improving all aspects of his game as Senegal prepared for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Senegal's 2025 AFCON Quest

Senegal, the 2021 continental champions, are marching into the CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2025 in Morocco with a clear ambition to reclaim the throne.

The Lions of Teranga, led by coach Pape Thiaw, have been drawn into Group D. They will face DR Congo, Benin, and Botswana in a group they are widely expected to navigate successfully, having had a strong, undefeated qualification campaign.

Despite a surprising Round of 16 exit at AFCON 2023, the current squad, a blend of experienced stars like Sadio Mane and emerging talent such as Lamine Camara, is a formidable force.

Coach Pape Thiaw has fostered an attacking, high-intensity style, and the team’s objective is unequivocally clear.

The 2025 AFCON is an opportunity for Senegal to re-establish their dominance and add a highly desired second star to their national jersey, solidifying their status as one of Africa's premier footballing nations.
