Senegal extend unbeaten streak to 24 matches after comeback win against D.R Congo

The Teranga Lions of Senegal are currently the side with the longest unbeaten run in international football following their 3-2 comeback victory against D.R. Congo in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Their trademark blend of defensive solidity and ruthless attacking play has made them a dominant force both in Africa and on the global stage.

Close behind are Spain and South Africa, who each remain unbeaten in 22 matches. Spain’s run highlights their resurgence under coach Luis de la Fuente, while South Africa’s consistency marks an impressive step forward in their footballing development.

Morocco follow with a 16-match streak, while South Korea sit fifth globally on 15 games without defeat, underlining Asia’s growing presence in the international game.

For Senegal, this remarkable run not only reinforces their position as Africa’s top-ranked team but also establishes them as genuine contenders in upcoming qualifiers and major tournaments.

The Teranga Lions will return to action in October for the final round of games in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In games against South Sudan and Mauritania, Senegal will be aiming to earn all six points at stake to book qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
