Cairo, Egypt

Football in July

A football fan from Senegal cheered before Algeria and Senegal faced off in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations at the Cairo International Stadium on July 19. Ultimately, Algeria’s “Desert Warriors” would defeat Senegal’s “Lions of Teranga” with a 1–0 victory, with the game’s only goal scored a mere two minutes into play. Algeria last won the trophy in 1990 and Senegal has yet to win.
