Diamniadio (Senegal) (AFP), Feb 22 – <\/i>Thousands of Senegalese gathered on Tuesday for the inauguration of a 50,000-seater stadium aimed at making the country Africa’s go-to venue for international events.<\/p>\n

The stadium is in Diamniadio, a town being built about 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the capital Dakar, for which an express train link opened in December.<\/p>\n

The venue, to be named in honour of former president Abdoulaye Wade, will be the only one in Senegal certified for international football.<\/p>\n

Current President Macky Sall said during an inauguration ceremony that the naming of the stadium was a “tribute to the multidimensional, intellectual, pan-Africanist politician”.<\/p>\n

“This beautiful infrastructure — dedicated to young people — is an invitation to continue our path towards excellence,” Sall said.<\/p>\n

The country’s last major stadium, Lat Dior, in the region of Thies 70 kilometres from Dakar, lost its certification from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in May last year.<\/p>\n

Jubilant crowds came by bus and train for the inauguration, which follows Senegal’s dramatic victory at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on February 6.<\/p>\n

The new stadium was built in just 18 months by Turkey’s Summa construction company, at a cost of 156 billion CFA francs ($270 million, 238 million euros).<\/p>\n

Sall, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and FIFA boss Gianni Infantino were among the VIPs scheduled to attend Tuesday’s inauguration.<\/p>\n

Am exhibition match will be part of the show, with Senegalese legends such as Aliou Cisse — the current coach of the national side — opposing a team of African all-stars, including Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o and Didier Drogba of Ivory Coast<\/p>\n

“It’s a source of pride to have a stadium as beautiful as this Senegal. The country needed it to restore its footballing image,” said one fan, Bamba Dieng, 24.<\/p>\n

“I’ve never seen such a great stadium. I hope it will be properly maintained so that it lasts for a very long time,” said Ibou Ngom, 29.<\/p>\n

Mbaye Jacques Diop, a communications advisory at the ministry of sports, said the project was part of a programme to make Dakar a “sporting hub” for Africa.<\/p>\n

It would mean an end to matches transferred to Asia because the continent lacked infrastructure, he said.<\/p>\n

The first big competitive match will be on March 29.<\/p>\n

Senegal, who beat Egypt for to take the African title, meet the Pharaohs again in a World Cup qualifier.<\/p>\n

Senegal has launched a programme to refurbish its stadiums before Dakar hosts of the Summer Youth Olympics in 2026.<\/p>\n

The country’s biggest sporting venue is the 60,000-capacity Leopold Sedar Senghor Stadium built in Dakar in 1985.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
