Sadio Mané, the Al Nassr forward and one of Africa’s brightest football stars, has joined the Senegalese national team as they prepare for the AFCON 2025 qualifiers. Mané arrived at the team’s base at the Radisson Hotel in Diamniadio on Monday, ready to begin training with his teammates.
With the arrival of the 31-year-old talisman, Aliou Cissé’s squad is beginning to take full shape ahead of their crucial fixtures against Burkina Faso and Burundi.
Mané’s presence is expected to boost the team’s morale and performance as they gear up for the qualifiers.
Training sessions are scheduled to commence this evening, with the remainder of the squad expected to join shortly.
The Senegalese team is focused on ensuring they are in top form for the upcoming matches, where they aim to secure their place in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Mané’s inclusion in the squad underscores the importance of these qualifiers for Senegal, as they seek to build on their success from AFCON 2021, where they emerged as champions.
The forward, known for his pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability, will be a key figure as the Lions of Teranga aim to dominate in the continental tournament once again.
As training kicks off, all eyes will be on Mané and his teammates as they work towards continuing Senegal’s footballing legacy on the African stage.
