AMP Football Senegal - Dakar
An AMP football team has been established in Senegal. The sports kits are ready [see photo], and it's time to start the AMP football adventure! In collaboration with coach Alpha Ndiaye from Dakar, we are working on creating the first-ever AMP Football team in Dakar.
We kicked off on June 19, 2022, with the first training session of the Cinco Colores AMP Football team. The first six players began training on the field in the Dieppeul Derkle district of Dakar. Emotions ran high, and the joy on the players' faces was priceless. First friendships, first tips from the coach, first pass, first goal, first fans—full of excitement, we couldn't wait for the next training! By 2023, nearly 50 players from Dakar and surrounding areas were training with us.
In August 2023, we organized our first four-team tournament, and in November 2023, we played our first two international matches against a team from Gambia.
We sincerely thank WAAF for their help and support of our first AMP Football team in Senegal. Since April 1, 2023, we have been members of the World Amputee Football Federation (WAFF) and the Confederation of African Amputee Football (CAAF)!
