Since gaining independence from France in 1960, Senegal has developed into one of the top African sides with star players competing in leagues around Europe. Known as ‘The Lions of Teranga’ by supporters, Senegal has played in 2 FIFA World Cups, once making a memorable run to the quarterfinals in their debut tournament in 2002. Expect to see the Lions rolling out in white and green jerseys and raising eyebrows more and more as time goes on.
