The first Youth Olympic Games to be held on the African continent will take place in Dakar, Diamniadio, and Saly from October 31st to November 13th, 2026. Authorities in Senegal have announced a comprehensive mobility plan to manage the anticipated influx of 2,700 athletes, delegations, and spectators. The plan, validated by multiple stakeholders including the Ministry of Land and Air Transport and security forces, involves road closures, dedicated bus lanes, pedestrian zones, and detours around competition sites. Governor Ousmane Kane presented the traffic plan, which focuses on 14 critical intersections across Dakar, Diamniadio, and Saly. The aim is to ensure smooth competition proceedings while minimizing disruption to daily life and the local economy. The plan prioritizes public transportation – TER, BRT, Dakar Dem Dikk, and accredited taxis – with 166 measures implemented to regulate traffic flow efficiently.
