The Senegal national football team presented the Africa Cup of Nations trophy at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on Saturday, March 28, 2026. The event occurred ahead of an international friendly match against the French national team.
Led by captain Kalidou Koulibaly, the squad entered the pitch holding the trophy. The presentation was part of the pre-match ceremonies, which included a performance by Senegalese music star Youssou N'Dour.
Senegal won the AFCON tournament in 2025, defeating Nigeria in the final. However, they lost the title in the subsequent 2027 tournament, which was won by another nation. The friendly match against France ended in a 2-1 victory for the French side.
The event was largely ceremonial, allowing the Senegalese team and fans to celebrate their previous continental victory on a prominent international stage.
