Organised under the patronage of UNESCO, the Sport Impact Awards brought together more than 200 people in Dakar, including key figures from the Senegalese sport and development ecosystem as well as from the entire continent, notably from Rwanda (represented by the Ambassador of Rwanda in Senegal), Kenya, Morocco, Benin, Burkina Faso and South Africa. 

Sport Impact Leaders, high-level athletes, were present alongside Sport Impact to celebrate this first edition, which will be followed by others.
