Senegal has won the 2024 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations for the second consecutive year in Hurghada, Egypt.
Senegal overpowered Mauritania 6-1 in the final on Saturday to retain the title.
The Teranga Lions demonstrated their exceptional skill and experience, securing yet another accolade in 2024 for a record-breaking eighth time. Previously won in 2008, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2018, 2021, and 2022.
The match, filled with intensity and action, saw Senegal’s technical prowess and experience shine through.
Despite Mauritania’s spirited fight, they were ultimately overwhelmed by the attacking power of the reigning champions.
The Teranga Lions’ robust defence and clinical finishing quickly created a gap in the scoreline, solidifying their continental supremacy.
This victory not only secures Senegal’s place as Africa’s top beach soccer team but also grants the Teranga Lions another ticket to the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
With this win, Senegal heads to the world stage brimming with confidence and a competitive spirit that has once again propelled them to the pinnacle of African beach soccer.
Morocco also enjoyed a podium finish, beating host nation Egypt 4-3 to claim the bronze medal in the North African derby.
Despite starting off slow as compared to the hosts who dominated the most of the proceedings, it was the Moroccans who eventually edged the tournament hosts to secure a podium finish.
The narrow win concludes the tournament for both the hosts and bronze medalists, who, despite finishing outside of the top two, guarantee a FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup finish.
