Senegal burst into nationwide celebration as President Bassirou Diomaye Faye proudly joined the historic moment of the national team’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) victory. In a powerful show of solidarity and national pride, the President was seen wearing the Senegal national team jersey, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Lions of Teranga and the people they represent.

The gesture resonated deeply across the country, symbolizing unity, humility, and shared triumph. President Faye praised the players, coaching crew, and supporters for their resilience, discipline, and fighting spirit throughout the tournament, describing the victory as more than football — but a defining moment for national cohesion.

“This victory belongs to the people,” he emphasized, acknowledging the unwavering support from Senegalese fans at home and across the diaspora. From packed viewing centers to streets filled with chants and drums, the nation moved as one behind its team.

As celebrations continue in Dakar and beyond, Senegal once again asserts its place at the summit of African football — with a President who celebrates not above the people, but among them, proudly clad in the national colors.

Long live the Lions of Teranga! Long live Senegal! 🦁✨
