The subject of this entry is ambiguous. The supplied title “Senegal” and the unverified excerpt describe a “Senegal CAF club” with a circular emblem in green, red, gold, and white. However, the research results do not identify any Senegalese club competing in CAF competitions that uses such a crest. The strongest evidence points to the national team badge of the Fédération Sénégalaise de Football, which is a circular crest in green, yellow, red, and white featuring a lion. Senegalese clubs active in CAF competitions, such as ASC Jaraaf de Dakar, use different color schemes, with Jaraaf’s logo documented as blue and white.
Design and History
The most prominent circular emblem associated with Senegal in a CAF context is the badge of the Senegal national football team, managed by the Fédération Sénégalaise de Football. The badge is a circular crest with a green outer ring edged in yellow and red, carrying the words “Fédération Sénégalaise de Football” and three small stars. The ring surrounds a white field holding a stylized lion’s head drawn in flowing yellow, red, and green lines [1]. The lion is a core national symbol in Senegalese heraldry and gives the team its nickname, “Les Lions de la Teranga” [2].
No evidence in the research identifies a Senegalese club competing in CAF competitions that uses a green, red, gold, and white circular emblem. For example, ASC Jaraaf de Dakar, a Senegalese club that represented the country in the CAF Champions League, has a team logo documented as blue and white [3].
Meaning and Symbolism
The Senegal national team’s circular badge incorporates the colors of the Senegalese flag: green, yellow, and red, alongside white. The stylized lion head references the team’s nickname, “Les Lions de la Teranga” [2]. The three stars on the badge are documented as representing the team’s Africa Cup of Nations victories [4].
