Too unlucky, the Senegalese national team and the national youth team have lost all four finals in the past 5 years

Senegal's national team and national youth team have been a force to be reckoned with in African football in recent years, but the team has not yet won a continental trophy. After losing the Africa Cup of Nations final today, Senegalese football has suffered four consecutive defeats in continental competitions in nearly five years.

In the finals of the 15th, 17th and 19th non-youth tournaments, Senegal U20 lost to Nigeria, Zambia and Mali respectively, always on the side of the champions. In addition, the Senegalese national team was eliminated by Cameroon on penalties at the African Cup of Nations two years ago, and was painfully defeated by Japan at the World Cup a year ago because of the difference of two yellow cards. It seems that Senegalese football does need a little luck to make a breakthrough in recent years.
