Senegal Goalkeeper Alioune Badara Faty Sets Incredible African Record After CHAN Success

• Senegal goalkeeper Alioune Badara Faty has won the Africa Cup of Nations and CHAN tournament
• Badara Faty becomes the first player to achieve that feat
• He was part of the AFCON winning team in Cameroon twelve months ago

Alioune Badara Faty became the first player to win the Africa Cup of Nation and the African Nations Championship after Senegal's CHAN triumph.

The 23-year-old goalkeeper was a member of the Teranga Lions team that made history in Cameroon twelve months ago to win AFCON 2021.

A year later, he was named in the home-based Teranga Lions team that defeated Algeria to win CHAN 2022.

Although, he was on the bench in both finals, Senegal's success places him in the league of his own.

The African Nations Championship, abbreviated as CHAN, is a competition reserved for players plying their trades in their domestic leagues.

Faty plays for Senegalese champions Casa Sports.

This success is expected to provide Faty the platform to the next stage of his career.
