Ibrahim Mbaye, the 17-year-old Paris Saint-Germain striker, came on as a substitute in Senegal’s 3-0 victory over Botswana yesterday in the opening match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. This allowed him to set a record in the competition.
Ibrahim Mbaye becomes the youngest Senegalese player in AFCON history, breaking Mamadou Diallo’s record.
This is a significant achievement for Mbaye, who has been steadily establishing himself at PSG at such a young age and has now broken this record, confirming his talent. While there is still much to accomplish to forge a successful career, the Parisian youth academy graduate shows great promise.
We can only wish him continued success on this path, with dedication and hard work. He has already made progress in recent months, we are eager to see what happens next.
