As defending champions, the Teranga Lions arrive in Ivory Coast as title favourites. Their fans back home expect nothing but a repeat of the heroics in Cameroon in 2022.
But they reckon that winning back the title will not be a walk in the park. Nevertheless, they remain optimistic. Senegal open their title defence against neighbors Gambia on Monday, January 15.
