Selected for the national team for the first time at just 15 years of age, Amara Diouf continues to impress at such a young age. When asked by the Senegalese Football Federation's media about his impressions since joining the squad, the Génération Foot nugget was delighted with his presence in the squad. "It was a great pleasure to learn of my call-up. I'm really very happy to be here, to experience my first selection with the Senegalese first team, to be here with my big brothers. I got the news while I was in my room, sleeping, when I was woken up and told to watch the publication of Cissé's list live. I rushed to wake up, my other team-mates joined me and we watched it together. When I heard my name, I was very happy, and my teammates congratulated and encouraged me," he says.
Before going on to explain his objectives for the national team: "I came to the den and found my elders here, with whom I've long dreamed of playing. They make us dream. They made me feel very welcome and comfortable, and I hope to learn a lot from them. I'm here to learn, I'm behind them to learn more."He also shared his future ambitions: "My aim is to integrate well first of all, and then I'd also like to win trophies with this selection, notably the AFCON and the World Cup".
