Senegal has officially announced its squad for the CAN 2025 in Morocco. Coach Pape Thiaw is relying on a group of 28 highly skilled players, with the clear objective of aiming for a second star. With less than ten days until the kickoff, this announcement was particularly anticipated, especially given the uncertainties that have surrounded the physical condition of some key players and the choice of the number 9 in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Despite recent concerns regarding Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Assane Diao, Pape Thiaw has opted for a broad approach in attack. He has not closed the debate: Boulaye Dia, Nicolas Jackson, Habib Diallo, and Ch\u00e9rif Ndiaye are all included in the squad. Around them, the offensive line remains strong with Sadio Man\u00e9, Iliman Ndiaye, Ibrahim Mbaye, and Sarr, while Diao is also present. Among the notable absentees, Abdou Diallo is not part of the central defense choices.<\/p>\n

The rest of the squad confirms Senegal’s depth, notably with Moussa Niakhat\u00e9, as well as several players competing in Ligue 1 such as Yehvann Diouf, Antoine Mendy, Lamine Camara, Kr\u00e9pin Diatta, Mamadou Sarr, and Cheikh Sabaly. With such a well-rounded and experienced squad, Senegal logically positions itself as one of the tournament’s main favorites alongside Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n
