History
editThe Senegal women’s national football team, governed by the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF), was formally organised in the early 2000s to represent the country in international women’s football. Initial efforts to develop the team faced challenges such as limited resources and infrastructure. The establishment of domestic women’s leagues in 2009 and grassroots programs in subsequent years created pathways for player development.[2]
The team qualified for its first Africa Women Cup of Nations (AWCON) in 2012, held in Equatorial Guinea, but did not advance beyond the group stage. After a decade-long absence, Senegal returned to the AWCON in 2022, hosted by Morocco, where they reached the quarterfinals before being eliminated.
Senegal has also competed in regional tournaments, such as the West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone B Women’s Cup, with notable participation in 2019. Despite not yet qualifying for the FIFA Women’s World Cup, the team continues to gain experience through regional and continental competitions.
Home stadium
editSenegal’s women’s national football team does not have a single, officially designated “home stadium” reserved only for their matches. Instead—like many national teams—they typically use one of the country’s main stadiums whenever hosting international fixtures. Historically, the national sides (men’s and women’s) have most often played in Dakar at the Stade Léopold Sédar Senghor or at the Stade Lat Dior in Thiès. More recently, some Senegalese national matches (especially on the men’s side) have also taken place at the newly built Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade in Diamniadio.
In practice, the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) schedules home matches for the women’s team at whichever major stadium is available and suitable—so there is no single venue that is exclusively considered the women’s team’s “home.” However, if one were looking for the most commonly used stadium in past years (before renovations and new constructions), Stade Léopold Sédar Senghor in Dakar would be the closest to a traditional “home ground.”
