🚨 Sadio Mané announces his international retirement | OneFootball

A page is turning.

A few days after Senegal’s cruel elimination in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup (2-3) against Belgium, Sadio Mané announced that he was bringing his Senegal career to an end in a statement published by the Senegalese outlet Le Quotidien.

At 34, the Lions of Teranga captain is bringing to a close a 14-year international career that yielded 130 caps.

The winner of the 2021 AFCON, the former Liverpool winger, who first made his name in France with FC Metz, is hanging up his boots for his country as a true legend of Senegalese football.

"Know that I sacrificed everything for this flag. I gave the very best of myself and I always fought fiercely for our homeland," Mané said in his statement published by Le Quotidien.
