It made its first [[Football World Cup|World Cup]] in [[Football World Cup 2002|2002]] and made quite a splash, pulling a huge upset by defeating world and European champions [[France national football team|France]] 1-0 in the tournament's opening game. Especially notable about this result was the appearance of [[Patrick Vieira]], widely considered to be the best player Senegal had ever produced, {{Fact|date=June 2008}} playing for the opposition; this was due to France being a former colonial power in the country. Senegal went on to make the quarterfinals, only the second African team to do so (the first being [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] in [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990]] - interestingly, in 1990, Cameroon also defeated the defending champions ([[Argentina national football team|Argentina]]) 1-0 in the tournament's opening match). In the group, after defeating France, they drew with Denmark and Uruguay, and beat Sweden in extra time in Round 2, before losing to [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]] in the quarter finals. Senegal disappointed its fans in 2006 when it failed to qualify for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]]. in the 2006 FIFA World Cup Qualification, Senegal finished second in their group after losing 3-1 to the winners of the group, [[Togo national football team|Togo]]. Senegal's first appearance in the African Nations Cup was in 1965, when Senegal, after finishing second in their group, lost 1-0 to the [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Ivory Coast]] to finish in 4th place. in the 1990 African Nations Cup, Senegal once again finished 4th. Senegal hosted the African Nations Cup in 1992, in which, after qualifying for the quarter finals by finishing second in their group, Senegal lost 1-0 to Nigeria in the quarter finals. Senegal's best finish in the [[African Nations Cup]] came in 2002, when they lost the final on penalties after drawing 0-0 with [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] . Senegal has won the Amilcar Cabral Cup (a regional soccer tournament for West African nations) 8 times, more than any other country (second place: [[Guinea national football team|Guinea]] has only won 5 times). == Senegal Football Achievements == :'''[[Amilcar Cabral Cup]] :''' ::*8 Times Champion: 1979, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1991, 2001 ::*5 Times Runners-up: 1982, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2005 :'''[[CEDEAO Cup]] :''' ::*1 Time Champion: 1985 ::*2 Times Runners-up: 1990, 1991 :'''[[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] :''' ::*Quarterfinals: [[World Cup 2002|2002]] ==World Cup record== *[[Football World Cup 1930|1930]] to [[Football World Cup 1962|1962]] -
