Why It Matters
The "Lions of Teranga" (Lions of Hospitality) nickname reflects the famous Senegalese concept of "Teranga" — welcoming generosity. Their supporters became globally famous during the 2002 World Cup, where Senegal beat defending champions France 1-0 in the opener and reached the quarterfinals. The sabar drum rhythms that accompany the chant are central to Wolof culture.
