Matam

The Youth Olympic Games flame tour has reached Senegal's Fouta region, travelling from Podor to Matam along the Senegal River. Organisers describe the relay as illuminating the northern communities as the flame makes its way through the country, bringing the Games' symbolism to towns far from the main venues.

Stage 15 of the Youth Olympic Games Flame Tour has been held in the Fouta region of northern Senegal, passing through Ourossogui and Matam. The relay is part of preparations for the Dakar Youth Olympic Games, bringing the flame to communities across the country and drawing local attention as the host nation counts down to the event.
