The Teranga Lions of Senegal Legend, El Hadji Diouf believes his country can win the upcoming TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon 2021.

The two-times CAF African Player of the Year has indicated that Senegal is the frontrunner for the AFCON title:

”My first favorite is Senegal, who lost last edition final to Algeria, and today we must win. Anything we do without winning the trophy will be failure. There are other great teams, and it will be a very tough competition, perhaps the toughest in recent years and in a country that loves football. It would be a big football party” the former Liverpool star said.

Senegal are in Group B with Guinea, Zimbabwe and Malawi, however, they will kick-off their campaign in Cameroon against Zimbabwe at the Bafoussam Omnisport Stadium on January 10.

The Teranga Lions are yet to win the Afcon title in their history but they will aim to better their performance in the 2019 edition when they finished as runners-up after losing 1-0 to Algeria in the final.
