« C’est toute une génération qui... » : les témoignages après la disparition de Mouhamed Diouf et Momar Marico
Killed in a traffic accident, Mouhamed Diouf and Momar Marico grew up in Rufisque and took their first steps in basketball with Saltigué. Over the years, their paths led them to two different clubs: ASC Ville de Dakar for Mouhamed Diouf and US Gorée for Momar Marico. Despite their diverging careers, the two young players remained close, reports L'Observateur.
The Senegalese Basketball Federation confirmed their passing and offered its condolences to their families and clubs.
"A very polite, disciplined boy and a hard worker."
Moustapha Gaye, technical director of ASC Ville de Dakar, remembers a particularly well-liked young player. "Mouhamed joined ASC Ville de Dakar this year. He was an excellent playmaker. As a person, he was a very polite, disciplined, and hardworking young man. Above all, he really loved to laugh," he told L'Observateur.
Moustapha Gaye also described Mouhamed as "a talented, respectful player, appreciated by everyone in the basketball community." Regarding Momar Marico, he added, "He's also a kid I know, because his father is my colleague." Finally, he offered his best wishes for a speedy recovery to Doudou Ndoye, who was also involved in the accident.
At Cité Gabon, on the Guendel pitch, the emotion is indescribable. Teammates, coaches and supporters are devastated. "It's a whole generation that's gone. They were our brothers, our champions," testifies a teammate, distraught, quoted by L'Observateur.
