Premier League: a classy tribute to Senegal

Senegal's victory at AFCON 2025 resonated far beyond the African continent. In Liverpool, the emotion took on a symbolic dimension as the Hill Dickinson Stadium lit up in the Senegalese colors, creating a powerful image the day after the Lions of Teranga's triumph.

This rare and classy gesture was meant to honor two key players in this continental triumph, Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye, both of whom play for Everton. With this tribute, Everton made sure to connect its identity to a historic moment for Senegalese and African football.

An elegant nod, much like a title earned through effort, in an AFCON 2025 marked by intensity, tension, and a final victory that reverberated far beyond Dakar.
