Senegal national under-20 football team

• Senegal U-20's have qualified for 4 FIFA U-20 World Cup finals.
• In 2007 & 2009 they got to the 1st Qualifying round, but got knocked out by Ghana (2007) & Nigeria (2009).
• In 2011 they got to the 2nd round, but got knocked out by Egypt.
• In the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup they reached the semi-finals of the finals tournament, losing 5–0 to Brazil and then losing 3–1 in the third-place match against Mali.
• In the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, Amadou Sagna made the fastest goal in U-20 championships, 9.6 seconds after the beginning of the match against Tahiti.

Being the current champion of Africa under-20, Senegal's favoritism to pass the stage was very big after an impressive display in the U-20 AFCON in Egypt, winning all games without conceding a goal as Senegal continued to conquer Africa. However, the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup became a total disaster for the Senegalese, as they started with a shock 0–1 defeat to Japan. Senegal also failed to hold the line properly against Israel in a humiliating 1–1 draw, where a Senegalese player even scored an own goal. Senegal improved against Colombia in the final match, and led 1–0 until the fifth minutes of added time in the second half when a late goal from the Colombian side ensured Senegal to finish bottom and suffer a group stage exit. This was the first-time ever in Senegalese football history, a national team of the country finished bottom of the table, a humiliating exit for the African champions. To make thing worse, Nigeria, Gambia and Tunisia, all three lost to Senegal in the earlier U-20 AFCON, successfully reached the knockout stage, ensuring Senegal's humiliation in the tournament.

¹Draws include knockout matches decided on penalty kicks.
