With four years to go before the Youth Olympic Games, which will be held on the African continent for the first time, the government’s Plan for an Emerging Senegal is proving to be remarkably dynamic.
Les Petits Français were invited to participate in this great national adventure by contributing their know-how in sporting events and ceremonies.

As the Senegal national football team, the Lions of Teranga, were crowned African champions for the first time, President Macky Sall celebrated his team’s victory in Cameroon on February 6, 2022, and officially announced the inauguration of the Diamniadio Olympic Stadium.
This was quite a feat, considering that in the space of just a month, the stadium – the construction of which had only begun in 2020 – was not only completed but ready to host senior international officials as they attended a decidedly ambitious ceremony.
Mission accomplished, thanks to their expertise and a truly extraordinary collaboration with the Senegalese authorities and people.
On the evening of February 22, 2022, Diamniadio’s brand new sporting heart started to beat, for over five exhilarating hours of noble and spectacular festivities.
