Senegal's under-20 men's national football team was eliminated from the UFOA-A tournament after a 3-2 semi-final loss to Guinea. Moussa Gueye scored both of Senegal's goals in the 45th minute plus stoppage time and the 70th minute. The team, known as the Lionceaux, had led by two goals before Guinea's comeback.
The defeat represents a significant disappointment for the Senegalese U20 squad. They were unable to secure qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations following the semi-final match in Dakar. The loss came despite an initial two-goal advantage.
The Lionceaux's elimination means they will not participate in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. The semi-final match took place on October 25, 2026. Guinea advanced to the next stage of the competition.
