Rabat, Sunday, January 18, 2026 – TECNO proudly celebrates the Lions of Teranga, crowned champions after their brilliant victory in the final against Morocco. This historic achievement embodies the excellence, determination, and unity of the Senegalese people. As a committed partner of African youth and sport, TECNO congratulates the national team on this memorable triumph, which brings Senegal into the spotlight on the continental stage and inspires an entire generation to aim higher.

In a memorable final played at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, the Senegalese national team, the Lions of Teranga, won the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, beating the host country, Morocco, in an electrifying atmosphere and in front of tens of thousands of supporters from both countries and elsewhere.

After an impressive campaign, punctuated by close but determined victories – notably against Egypt in the semi-final thanks to a goal by Sadio Mané which propelled Senegal into the final – the Lions have this time secured the supreme title of African football.

A well-deserved victory for a golden generation

Under their coach's guidance, the team demonstrated defensive solidity, offensive creativity, and a champion's mentality throughout the tournament. Led by veterans like Sadio Mané, but also by a talented younger generation who stepped up in key moments, the Senegalese imposed their style on the Moroccan pitches.

This victory marks a new golden chapter in Senegalese football: after their first continental title in 2021, the Lions of Teranga have established themselves as an undeniable force in African football.

A high-intensity match

The final against Morocco had all the hallmarks of a sporting pinnacle. Facing the Atlas Lions, superior on paper thanks to home advantage and a talented generation of players, the Senegalese responded with courage, tactical discipline and clinical efficiency in the crucial moments.

Facing a hostile but respectful crowd, the Lions showed their composure to overcome the pressure and secure the long-awaited victory.

Thousands of jubilant fans

In Dakar, Saint-Louis, and cities across the country, scenes of jubilation underscored the immense significance of this continental title for the nation. Fireworks, songs, dances, and massive crowds flooded the streets to celebrate this historic victory.

The fans never stopped believing in their team, and this popular commitment was rewarded with a triumph that will remain etched in the history of Senegalese sport.

This success is not just a victory on the field: it's a historic moment for Senegal, a symbol of collective achievement, shared passion, and undeniable talent. In the hearts of millions of supporters, the Lions roar louder than ever.
