Senegal striker Sadio Mané has confirmed that Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final against Morocco will be his last appearance in the continental tournament.
Mané’s decisive second-half goal against Egypt in the semifinals secured a 1-0 victory, sending the Lions of Teranga through to the AFCON final. His performance earned him the Man of the Match award.
“I will be happy to play my last final in the Africa Cup of Nations,” Mané told RTS after the game, signalling the close of his AFCON career.
Senegal will face hosts Morocco at the Prince Moulay Abdallah Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 GMT.
While stepping away from AFCON, the former Bayern Munich forward could continue representing Senegal until after the 2026 World Cup, set to be held across the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Mané lifted his first AFCON trophy with Senegal in 2021, marking a historic milestone for the Lions of Teranga.
