Sadio Mané announced that this was his last Africa Cup of Nations

The Senegal national team managed to win the Africa Cup of Nations for the second time in their history, and afterwards we heard a heartfelt admission from Sadio Mané.

Details: According to the Senegalese winger, this was his final Africa Cup of Nations as a player. However, he will continue to support his team as a fan.

Quote: “Unfortunately, this is my last dance, but I will be the 12th man cheering them on (my national team),” Mané said, as reported by Lorenz Köhler.

Sadio Mané delivered an outstanding Africa Cup of Nations with the Senegal national team. The 33-year-old made a huge contribution to his country’s continental triumph.

He scored two goals and provided three assists during the tournament. It was Mané who sent Senegal into the final with a late goal in the semifinal against Egypt.

Reminder: Calm was eventually restored in the AFCON 2025 final after Senegal captain Sadio Mané stepped onto the pitch to lead his teammates out, which allowed play to resume against the hosts, Morocco.
