Youssou Ndour, Omar Pène, Ismaël Lô, Mia Guissé, Dip... L'État offre un concert géant et gratuit pour la clôture des JOJ
A page of history is turning for Senegal and for the entire African continent. After weeks of intense emotions, memorable competitions, encounters and unforgettable performances, the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games (YOG) are preparing to close their doors.
To mark the end of this Olympic adventure, the State of Senegal invites the public to a grand popular closing celebration this Friday, November 13, 2026, starting at 6 p.m., at Place de la Nation.
This celebratory evening is first and foremost a vibrant tribute to all those who made the heart of the country beat to the rhythm of Olympism. Athletes from all corners of the globe, delegations, dedicated volunteers and anonymous with big hearts: it is an entire international community that is being honored to crown the historic success of this first edition of the Youth Olympic Games organized on African soil.
Through this event, the Senegalese authorities wish to express their profound gratitude to the population, and especially to the youth. Civic engagement, unwavering mobilization, and the legendary hospitality extended to international visitors were among the most admirable aspects of this global gathering.
In its press release, the Prime Minister's office expressed its thanks to the Senegalese athletes, volunteers, partners and all citizens throughout the country.
To transform this closing into a magical and unforgettable moment, Place de la Nation will resonate with parades, a spectacular sound and light show, a variety of entertainment, and a historic concert. A host of exceptional artists will take to the stage to offer the public a memorable finale, including major figures of Senegalese and urban music such as Youssou Ndour, Omar Pène, Ismaël Lô, Mia Guissé, Dip, Ash The Best, Nabashou, Dieyla, PBS, Tarba Mbaye, Ibra Nadio, Ada Boy, Zo Flam, and many more.
Access to this major public celebration is completely free and open to all. To allow as many people as possible to participate in this event under the best conditions, a special transportation system will be in place. Shuttle buses will transport the public to Place de la Nation (formerly Place de l'Obélisque) from multiple pick-up points strategically located throughout Dakar and its surrounding areas. Meeting points, precise departure points, and shuttle schedules will be announced throughout the day via official channels.

Hier j ai failli perdre la vie devant la porte de le stade, à cause des bousculades,bcp d entre nous sommes tombés
Et pendant des minutes une foule nous marchait dessus,je croyais sincèrement que c était ma dernière journée sur terre
La sécurité a carrément failli
Cette fédération est la pire fédération de toute l histoire du football Sénégalais
En tout cas je recommande de faire très attention à ces manifestations festives
Surtout que celle là est gratuite
