Combat sports and martial arts Dakar

This is the oldest of Dakar's two major stadiums, built in 1963. Originally called the "stade de l'Amitié", it took the name of the former mayor of Mbour and Minister of Youth and Sports, under the presidency of Léopold Sédar Senghor, in 1967. While soccer matches are played here, the stadium is best known for the unmissable wrestling matches that take place in its 15,000-seat arena, which could do with a major overhaul. It's a spectacle, both sporting and cultural, not to be missed.
