Senegal’s president, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, has announced a reward package for the country’s AFCON 2025-winning team, following their latest continental triumph.
Each player in the Teranga Lions squad will receive about $135,000 in cash, as well as a 1,500 square metre plot of land on the Petite Côte, a coastal area known for tourism and high-end real estate development.
The president said the rewards were intended to recognise not only the players, but everyone involved in Senegal’s second Africa Cup of Nations title.

Members of the technical and coaching staff are set to receive $90,000 each, along with 1,000 square metre plots of land, while other members of the official delegation, including logistics and support staff, will receive $35,000 and 500 square metres of land.
The announcement was made on Tuesday when the AFCON title was presented to the President and people of Senegal.
"You were determined to bring this cup home, and you did so heroically, playing beautiful football, with fair play and exemplary conduct, both on and off the field. Know that this victory belongs to all the Senegalese people," president Faye said.

Tens of thousands of Senegal football fans lined the streets of Dakar on Tuesday as the Lions of Teranga held a victory parade to celebrate their triumph in the Africa Cup of Nations final against Morocco.
The players and coaches brandished their trophy from an open-top bus which inched its way through immense crowds across the capital, winding towards the country's presidential palace.

As the players travelled the final stretch of their journey along the city's oceanside highway, the Corniche, fans walked and sometimes ran alongside the bus, with throngs of people lining the sidewalks.

Downtown was overcome by a fever pitch of almost deafening noise -- revving engines, horns, vuvuzelas and shouting -- as the players neared the palace, where they will be officially received.
Pape Gueye scored in extra time in a chaotic final to win the tournament for Senegal against Morocco.

The win marked Senegal's second title, after their 2022 victory over Egypt in Cameroon. It was the team's third final in just the last four editions, and second trophy in the last three finals.
