The renovation of the Jules-François Bertrand Bocandé stadium in Ziguinchor and its development into a multidisciplinary stadium compliant with standards were among the 12 major projects of the municipality of Ziguinchor, initiated in 2023 by the former mayor and current Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko.
Djibril Sonko, the mayor of Ziguinchor, expressed his opinion on this rehabilitation which has not changed since its announcement two years ago: “The Jules-François Bocandé stadium has requested studies in order to carry out plans concerning the implementation placement of a lawn on the football field, reconstruction of the stands and construction of the basketball court. The original goal for the basketball court was to build only stands. I asked the architect to create a closed room so that we can install a carpet on the floor so that the youth of Ziguinchor can practice basketball in optimal conditions,” he noted during a briefing. press.
He adds: “The architect plans to review the plans he had drawn up and he is committed to this task, which explains why the redevelopment and rehabilitation of the Jules-François Bocandé stadium are currently blocked. After completing all this, we will proceed with the redevelopment and rehabilitation of the stadium so that we can launch the market. My ambition is to create this sports infrastructure for the benefit of the youth of the city of Ziguinchor. »
