Union mondiale des villes olympiques : Augustin Senghor élu vice-président
Recognition now extends beyond national borders. The mayor of Gorée, Augustin Senghor, has just been elected vice-president of the World Union of Olympic Cities, a major step that confirms his commitment to the promotion of sport and territories.
In an official statement, the City of Dakar hailed this "high-level distinction" recognizing a long and dedicated career in service to the Olympic movement. This award strengthens Senegal's presence in international bodies and underscores the strategic role of local authorities in sports diplomacy.
Beyond the personal success, the municipal authorities were keen to highlight the involvement of the mayor of Dakar, Abass Fall. His support for this candidacy is presented as crucial, illustrating a structured territorial diplomacy focused on concrete results and greater visibility for local actors on the world stage.
In October 2025, Augustin Senghor joined the organization's executive committee, a strategic step that served as a springboard to the vice-presidency.
This appointment comes at a particularly important time for Senegal, which is preparing to host the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games (YOG), scheduled from October 31 to November 13. This historic event will strengthen Dakar's credibility and strategic position within the international Olympic ecosystem.
Seneweb sends him its congratulations.
