Senegal has rewarded its triumphant 2025 Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a generous state-backed incentive package after President Bassirou Diomaye Faye approved financial bonuses and land allocations for the victorious team.
Under the package, the Teranga Lions players will each receive US$135 000 in cash and a 1 500-square-metre residential stand, while members of the technical and support staff are set to benefit from US$90 000 each, along with 1 000-square-metre plots. The rewards reflect the government’s appreciation of the squad’s historic continental success.
The incentives were officially announced at a presidential ceremony held in Dakar, where President Faye hosted the players and team officials following their AFCON final victory.
President Faye said the team’s achievement had played a key role in fostering national unity and had significantly boosted Senegal’s reputation both across Africa and on the global stage.
