From April 8th to April 11th, the Dakar 2026 YOG Organising Committee welcomed Chef de Missions from over 170 countries around the world to Senegal for the Dakar 2026 Chef de Mission Seminar.

MEMOSians from Togo, Lithuania, the Maldives, Zimbabwe, Antigua and Barbuda, Romania, Croatia, Brazil, Estonia, the Virgin Islands, Saudi Arabia, the Bahamas, South Africa, and more enjoyed the hospitality of Senegal and the Dakar 2026 Organising Committee while touring venues and learning about the procedures and expectations for these Youth Olympic Games.

Our colleagues are looking forward to returning in October with their delegations for the Games – and a MEMOS Gathering (details to be announced).
