The first-ever AFCON title has brought so much happiness to the people of Senegal. Tens of thousands have gathered on the streets to celebrate the paramount success, including Senegal’s president, Macky Sall.Moreover, he is so happy for this achievement of Aliou Cisse and his guys that he decided to reward them appropriately.According to several media, each player and member of the Lions of Teranga delegation at AFCON will be given approximately KSh 9.7 million and two plots of land – one of 200 square meters in Dakar and one of 500 square meters in the new city of Diamniadio.Unbelievable scenes in Dakar as Senegal parade their #AFCON2021 trophy! 🇸🇳pic.twitter.com/TmhpoftAXz— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) February 8, 2022 Moreover, they’ll earn the National Order of the Lion, too.But there’s also a slight catch…MAN CITY – BRENTFORDImmediately afterwards, the president asked the coach Cisse for a solemn commitment:”I’m not asking to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup but a place in the semifinals,” he said smiling.Maybe because Senegal have not yet qualified and to do so, they will have to win the play-off at the end of March, which will put them once again against Egypt. Hopefully, Sadio Mane, Edouard Mendy and the others won’t be asked to return that piece of land in case of a tragic loss and elimination.
