311,4 millions de Fcfa, couverture maladie… : Bassirou Diomaye Faye choie les champions d’Afrique U15 et U17
To each his due. Following their recent continental achievements, the national youth football teams were duly rewarded by the Head of State. This Monday, June 8th, the Presidential Palace hosted the U17 and U15 teams.
As a reminder, in April in Harare, the Senegalese school football cadets secured, "without a single defeat," according to a statement from the presidency, the country's first-ever continental title in this competition. In June, in Rabat, the under-17 team claimed a second continental title, after a run where "character made the difference at every crucial moment."
During the ceremony, according to the note from the Palace of the Republic, the players and all the staff of the two teams were awarded the "Gaïndé Medal for Performance", in recognition of the honors they have brought to the Nation.
The press release adds that: “Beyond this distinction, they received various awards, totaling 179.5 million FCFA for the U17 team and 131.9 million FCFA for the U15 team. The President of the Republic was keen to ensure the long-term sustainability of this initiative and its focus on training. Each champion receives a scholarship and training grant, health insurance for themselves and their family, a digital tool for their work, and support for their club or school, in addition to a grant for the player and their family.” The presidential statement specifies that this gesture is “a way of reminding everyone that these children are first and foremost students, and that the future that awaits them is built as much in the classroom as on the field.”
"As the Lions complete their preparations on American soil for the World Cup, and as Dakar prepares to host the first Youth Olympic Games organized in Africa, Senegal is experiencing an unprecedented sporting year, driven by a youth that continues to bring honor to the Nation," the note concluded.
