This Sunday, the National Arena will be the scene of a highly anticipated intergenerational duel between veteran Eumeu Sène and the Fass phenomenon, Ada Fass.

Separated by a 19-year age gap, the two athletes have followed radically different paths. At 46, the former "King of the Arenas" and leader of Tay Shinger, Eumeu Sène, enters this fight as the favorite. Despite some recent setbacks, his victory against the current king, Sa Thiès, confirms that he remains a formidable opponent, bolstered by an exemplary lifestyle and a renowned dedication.

Opposite him, Ada Fass has a lot riding on this. Highly popular and possessing a strong ability to mobilize fans, the young wrestler has so far often stumbled against experience, notably in his defeats against Zarco and Lac de Guiers 2. This duel therefore represents for him "the ultimate test" of his young career, analyzes the specialized newspaper Record.

To give prestige to the event, the same source notes, promoter Makane Mbengue placed the day under the patronage of Dr. Alioune Sarr, former emblematic president of the CNG from 1994 to 2020, before the establishment of the Senegalese Wrestling Federation (FSL) chaired by Bira Sène since the end of December.

A sign of the growing popularity of Senegalese wrestling, several diplomats are expected in the stands, including the ambassadors of France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Canada. Ada Fass is scheduled to compete at 4:45 PM, followed by Eumeu Sène at 5:00 PM. According to the sports daily, Eumeu Sène boasts 12 wins in 26 bouts, while Ada Fass has 13 wins in 17.
