Senegal's President Macky Sall has declared Monday a public holiday to celebrate the national football team's first-ever AFCON crown following their victory against Egypt.
The Tarenga Lions will be decorated by Sall on Tuesday at the presidential palace in Dakar, RTS television said.
"The president of the republic declared Monday a public holiday, a paid day off, following the brilliant victory of the Lions," RTS said, citing a presidential decree.
Sadio Mane netted the winning spot-kick as Senegal beat Egypt 4-2 on penalties to clinch their first-ever AFCON, after the final ended goalless following extra time on Sunday.

The Liverpool forward had earlier seen a seventh-minute penalty saved by Pharaohs keeper Gabaski.
Chelsea's Edouard Mendy denied Mohanad Lasheen to give Mane the chance to win it in Yaounde's Olembe Stadium.
Gabaski had made three good saves from Senegal's Bamba Dieng in extra time.
And in a match billed as a battle between Liverpool forwards Mane, of Senegal, and Egypt captain Mohamed Salah, it was the former who had the decisive word.
After two previous final defeats, Senegal are Africa Cup of Nations winners at last, while Egypt missed out on a record-extending eighth continental crown that would also have been a first for Salah.
Senegal's two Nations Cup final defeats came in 2002 and 2019.
