CAN Maroc 2025 - 100ème sélection contre Benin : Kalidou Koulibaly entre un peu plus dans la légende
Kalidou Koulibaly reached a symbolic milestone this Tuesday during the match between Senegal and Benin at the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025. The captain of the Lions of Teranga honored his 100th cap in the national jersey, further confirming his status as a pillar and legend of Senegalese football.
Called up to the national team for the first time in 2015, the former Napoli and Chelsea defender has established himself over the years as an indispensable member of the squad. At 34, Koulibaly continues to perform at a high level, both defensively and in terms of his leadership on and off the pitch.
Having served as captain for several years, he embodies stability and high standards within the Senegalese national team. This AFCON in Morocco marks his fifth appearance at the tournament. A runner-up in 2019 in Egypt, he then achieved ultimate glory by winning the trophy in Cameroon at the 2021 AFCON, which he lifted as captain.
Also present at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, Kalidou Koulibaly is part of the golden generation that propelled Senegal to the pinnacle of African football. At the dawn of this new continental adventure, the leader of the Senegalese defense will be eager to further cement his place in history by guiding the Lions to a second star, a symbol of confirmation at the highest level of African football.
