In Group C alongside Cameroon, Gambia and Guinea, Senegal will defend their title in Côte d'Ivoire from January 13 to February 11, 2024. Leading the way will be Sadio Mané, in his bid to retain the African title. Interviewed by the CAF media, the Lions star expects a very tough competition. "We know it won't be easy, but we'll be there to do our best and try to get through each round. We're expecting tough competition. It's going to be one of the toughest competitions I've ever been involved in, because all the big countries are here and they all have their objectives. But we'll see what happens," says the Al-Nassr player.
Sadio Mané dreams of winning a second continental title in Côte d'Ivoire. "First of all, winning the AFCON was the best trophy I ever won in my life, and to return to this stage would be special and a great achievement. It's been a dream of mine to play in this competition since I was a child, and we'll do our best. Winning the AFCON will have a big impact on our soccer because we've won all the other categories, which is great for the country".
