  Venue – Cairo International Stadium – Referee – Mahmoud Ngi

The 2023 U20 African Cup of Nations takes place in Egypt this year as Senegal’s young Lions dominated and kept their 100 per cent winning record.

The Young Teranga Lions of Senegal flourished over their counterparts neighbours Gambia 2-0 on Saturday to win their first-ever TotalEnergies U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.

Goals from forward Sulaymane Faye and midfielder Mamadou Camara in the Egyptian capital of Cairo helped Senegal to victory over their arch-rivals.

The West African side qualified for Saturday’s final with a hundred per cent winning all their matches without conceding a goal.

The Young Teranga Lions were playing their fourth TotalEnergies U-20 AFCON final after finishing as runners-up in 2015, 2017 and 2019.

Midfielder Pape Demba Diop won the Umbro Golden Boot award of the TotalEnergies U-20 Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2023.

The 19-year-old scored five goals in the tournament as he wrote his name in the tournament history books as the leading scorer of the 23rd edition of the biennial tournament.

It was a clean sweep for Senegal as star midfielder Lamine Camara won the best player of the TotalEnergies U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
