How good are the Senegal football team?

Senegal, which is ranked 18th globally and first among African countries, won the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 2021 after losing in the finals in 2019 and 2002.

In 2002, they made it to the World Cup quarterfinals, but they didn't qualify again until 2018, when they lost in the group stage with just one victory in three games.

However, they will be without a number of important players against England on Sunday as Bayern Munich striker Sadio Mane was forced to withdraw from the competition due to injury and Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye is serving a one-match suspension.

On December 18, the championship game will be held in Qatar at the Lusail Stadium. The Netherlands, Poland, Spain, or Brazil are possible rivals because they are all on the opposite side of the draw.
