Mayor of the Senegalese region of Sedhiou, Abdoulaye Diop, has confirmed plans to name the city’s new stadium after Liverpool star Sadio Mane as a reward for his performances at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 29-year-old scored the winning spot-kick that helped Senegal beat Egypt 4-2 in the penalty shoot-out after a goalless draw at the end of extra-time, and it sealed the country’s first Afcon title.
Mane played in all of the Teranga Lions' games in Cameroon and he contributed three goals with two assists.

The Afcon success capped Mane's achievements as an indigene of Sedhiou, a region in the South-West part of Senegal, having also won major titles at Liverpool which include the Fifa Club World Cup, Uefa Super Cup, Uefa Champions League and the Premier League.
“Sadio Mane has honoured all of Senegal, the Sedhiou region and the entire Casamance area,” Diop said, per Sports News Africa . “I have decided to name the Sedhiou stadium after him.
“In doing so I wish to convey the gratitude of all the sons and daughters of the region towards him.
"He has made all of mankind aware of Bambali and Sedhiou, the region's main town. This is a gift that Sadio Mane truly deserves."

Its doesn't mean that is the end to their ballon do'r dreams they best player of the tournament can be for instance let's say Maguire and back then at his club he is a disaster waiting to happen u can say not winning the world will limit and bring down their chances of winning the world up by a very high ratio but u just can't say Modric won it with huge regards to his world cup performances
