Sadio Mané’s Senegal has just won the CAN for the first time in the history of the selection, and this at the expense of Egypt. After having already received various honors and distinctions from the State, the Liverpool striker is this time honored by the Minister of Culture and Mayor of the city of Sédhiou, the region from which he originates. Currently under construction, the city’s new municipal stadium will be named in honor of the best player of AFCON 2021.
“Sadio Mané honored Senegal, the region of Sédhiou and all of Casamance. I would like, through this decision to give the name of Sadio Mané to the Stade de Sédhiou, to translate the recognition of all the worthy sons of the region, towards a man who makes known to all humanity, Bambali and its capital region, Sédhiou. Sadio Mané amply deserves this gift” the mayor told the media Sports News Africa. A beautiful tribute for the Liverpool player, considered the best Senegalese footballer in history.
