In Ziguinchor, in the Casamance region, Prosperi organised a day dedicated to sport, sharing and social cohesion on Friday 27 February. The event centred around gala matches and the donation of sports equipment, with the aim of encouraging participation in sport and passing on the strong values of sport to local young people.
In a warm and festive atmosphere, the footballers put on a great show, playing with intensity and determination. But beyond the competition, the event was a moment of popular communion, punctuated by the songs and dances of a group of entertainers.
The focal point of this initiative was a gala match bringing together four local teams, two women’s teams and two men’s teams.
The mobilisation of women’s football has been a means of reaffirming our commitment to promoting inclusion and equal opportunities, and highlighting the essential role of women in sport and society.
In order to remove material barriers to participating in sports, each participating team received a donation of equipment.
The event concluded with a ‘ndogou’, a meal to break the Muslim fast, shared between the teams, families and residents in attendance. This convivial moment helped to strengthen community ties and celebrate the values of solidarity together.
