Former Senegalese international Alassane Ndour reflects on Senegal’s AFCON 2025 group

Senegal’s draw for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, featuring Benin, DR Congo, and Botswana, has been met with cautious optimism.

Former Senegalese international Alassane Ndour believes the group is manageable but warns that no match should be underestimated.

It remains an affordable group for Senegal,” Ndour said, acknowledging the familiarity with teams like Benin and DR Congo.

But no match will be easy because the games aren’t won before the competition starts.

Despite being one of the favorites, Ndour emphasized the need for Senegal to stay focused, as every team in Group D will be eager to challenge the Lions of Teranga.
