What was announced publicly by the Senegalese Minister of Youth and Sports at the congress has now translated into concrete action: Senegal opening its facilities to The Gambia to host international matches.

In less than two weeks, we have now received confirmation of an international friendly between the Teranga Lions and the Scorpions on 31st March at Stade Abdoulie Wade, Diamniadio, Dakarโ€”a match that will also see Senegal officially present their second AFCON trophy to its people and kick-start preparations for their 2026 World Cup campaign.

This is a clear testament to the power of sports diplomacy, journalism, and regional cooperation. Congratulations to SJAG and AIPS Africa, under the leadership of Mr Omar Jarju and Abdoulaye Babou Thiam, respectively, for delivering an event that has strengthened bilateral relations and ensure a strong collaboration in sports development among these countries.
