Following the incidents in Fass Mbao: the Wrestling Federation reiterates the rules and promises to take action.

The Senegalese Wrestling Federation (FSL) has taken a firmer stance following the violent clashes in Fass Mbao between supporters of wrestler Bébé Laurent and those of Poutine. In a circular addressed to wrestling stakeholders, the governing body strongly condemns the violence and threatens severe disciplinary sanctions against any perpetrators.

While offering its sincere condolences to the family of the deceased and expressing its compassion to those affected by this tragedy, the Senegalese Wrestling Federation (FSL) reiterates that Senegalese wrestling must remain a space for fraternity, unity, and self-improvement. The Federation believes that sporting rivalries should never be used as a pretext for clashes between neighborhoods.

But beyond the condemnation, the FSL (French Wrestling Federation) particularly emphasizes the importance of respecting the rules governing wrestlers' movements. The Federation reiterates that it is strictly forbidden for wrestlers, their escorts, and their supporters to travel to the National Arena or any other venue hosting a wrestling event in the form of a procession, without prior and exceptional authorization from the territorially competent prefect.

The FSL specifies that any wrestler who violates this provision will be subject to severe disciplinary sanctions, potentially including the revocation of their license. Managers, coaches, stable managers, and members of wrestling schools are also called upon to take responsibility and ensure strict adherence to these regulations.

The Federation therefore calls on all parties to remain calm, exercise restraint, engage in dialogue, and above all, play fair. It reiterates that the rivalry must remain confined to the arena and never spill over into neighborhoods, streets, or public spaces.
