Five municipalities in the Dakar region—Keur Massar Nord, Keur Massar Sud, Sangalkam, Dalifort and Médina Gounass—are receiving new sports facilities funded with more than 2 billion CFA francs. Inaugurated Thursday in Keur Massar by Minister Moussa Bala Fofana as part of PROGEP 2, the facilities include six artificial-turf football pitches, two multipurpose courts and local fitness trails.
