Quand Ayo rencontre le cousin Assad : une fraternité inattendue au stade Ibn Batouta
Football sometimes offers much more than goals and victories. It also creates moments of emotion and shared experience, far beyond the pitch. This is exactly what happened at the Ibn Batouta Stadium during the match between Senegal and Benin.
Ayo, the official mascot of the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games and an iconic figure of the Lions of Senegal, had a surprising and heartwarming encounter with his "cousin" Assad, an equally popular mascot. Sharing affectionate gestures, the two mascots offered the public an unexpected moment of camaraderie, perfectly embodying the spirit of conviviality in African football.
This scene, widely applauded by the fans in the stands, served as a reminder that football is first and foremost a celebration. Beyond the sporting rivalry, friendship and the values of respect and community remain at the heart of the game. In their own way, Ayo and Assad symbolized the unity, joy, and brotherhood that make these great sporting events so special.
