The general assembly of the Senegalese football federation was a major event over the weekend, and it resulted in the re-election of Me Augustin Senghor. The newspapers report on the positive outcome of Senghor’s re-election, emphasizing that much work remains to be done in developing football. However, a notable incident during the assembly involved the Minister of Sports, Mbagnik Ndiaye, who faced criticism, boos, and even an attempt to push him into a swimming pool. The incident occurred as he openly attacked the football federation’s management. The newspapers also cover the victory of Casa Sport in the fifth edition of the league cup, earning a prize of 20 million FCFA, and the qualification of the Lions for the round of 16 in men’s Afro basketball.
