Stade Demba Diop, Sports stadium in Sicap-Liberté, Senegal
Stade Demba Diop is a stadium with a synthetic turf field located on Boulevard Président Habib Bourguiba in Sicap-Liberté, accommodating 15,000 spectators. The venue serves as a space for football matches, wrestling competitions, concerts, and large public events.
The stadium was built in 1963 to honor Demba Diop, a former mayor of M'bour who later served as Minister of Youth and Sport. His death in 1967 marked a turning point, and the facility was named to preserve his memory.
The stadium serves as a home venue for several local football clubs that draw devoted fans throughout the year. It functions as a gathering place where communities come together to support their teams.
The venue is accessible on match days and during special events throughout the year. It is helpful to check ahead for the event schedule, as the facility's activity level changes seasonally.
The Jackson 5 performed here in 1974, bringing American pop music to the city's concert stage. This event remains etched in the memory of those who witnessed it.
