Produktbeschreibung
From Dakar's packed neighborhood pitches to the pressure-cooker nights of Africa Cup of Nations knockouts, Senegal's national team has built a reputation that no longer relies on surprise. This book traces the country's measurable transformation from intermittent contender to modern powerhouse, following the institutional choices and competitive proof points that reshaped Senegal's place in the global game. At the center is the idea of Teranga-hospitality fused with pride-and how a public identity carried through sport became a competitive strength. The narrative tracks the long road to coherence: the early roots of organized football, the post-independence struggle to define a national program, the domestic club cultures that formed hardened professionals, and the academy systems that turned development into infrastructure. The story also follows the modern mechanisms that made Senegal difficult to dislodge: diaspora pathways that expanded the player pool, European launch points that professionalized careers early, and coaching continuity that forged a consistent tactical identity. With the 2002 World Cup run as the global breakthrough and the AFCON title era as the validating benchmark, Senegal emerges in these pages not as a one-off phenomenon, but as a reference point-built through documented results, repeatable systems, and the relentless demands of tournament football.
