Senegal’s national football team paraded the Africa Cup of Nations trophy at the Stade de France in Paris ahead of a friendly match against Peru this Saturday.
The team, led by captain Kalidou Coulibaly, took a lap of honour with the trophy despite having been stripped of the title weeks after winning the controversial final against Morocco in January.
The pre-match event featured a concert by Senegalese superstar Youssou Ndour, before the players entered the pitch with the trophy.
The parade comes amid ongoing debate over the legitimacy of Senegal’s January victory, but the team used the moment to celebrate their achievement with fans.
This appearance shows Senegal’s continued pride in their AFCON campaign and highlights the players’ connection with supporters ahead of international fixtures.
