The Senegalese football icon Sadio Mane, celebrated for his illustrious career with Liverpool and now a player for Saudi club Al-Nasr, has showcased his dedication to community development by inaugurating a new stadium in his hometown of Bambali.

Sadio Mane personally funded the construction of the mini-stadium, replacing the modest mud pitch where the accomplished striker was spotted playing just two years ago during an off-season visit to Senegal.

The recently completed facility, now officially named Stade De Bambali, was unveiled at a grand opening ceremony attended by notable figures from the State of Senegal. The event provided a platform for the community to express gratitude and support for Mane’s remarkable initiative towards the development of his birthplace.

In 2022, Mane played a match on the original muddy field before deciding to transform it into a modern stadium at his own expense.

Apart from the stadium, Mane has previously contributed to the development of several schools, hospitals, and essential resources in Senegal. Meanwhile, Mane will be aiming to defend the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title with Senegal as they prepare for the 2023 edition, set to kick off next week in Ivory Coast.
