Coach: Aliou Cissé

Sophomore World Cup participants, Senegal, are back after making their debut in 2002. They stunned the world after beating defending champions France just before the quarter-finals, which makes them the second African team to reach the final eight. Before qualifying, Senegal benefited from an unprecedented decision by FIFA to order a replay of their 2-1 in South Africa due to match-fixing speculations.
