Everton Football Club found a unique way to congratulate the Senegal national team on their Africa Cup of Nations triumph.

Details: In the evening, Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium was illuminated in Senegal's national colors as a mark of respect for the African champions' remarkable achievement.

This gesture was Everton's way of congratulating their own stars—Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye—who became champions of Africa as part of the Senegal squad. Everton emphasized their pride in these players and noted they are eagerly awaiting their return to the team.

It's worth noting that the final itself ended with a narrow victory for Senegal. The only goal of the match was scored by Villarreal midfielder Pape Gueye.

Reminder: The President of Senegal declared a national holiday following the Africa Cup of Nations triumph.
