Révélations d’un spécialiste : «Pourquoi le football sénégalais perd des millions avec les droits TV»
In an interview with Le Soleil, Professor Abdoulaye Sakho, vice-president of Jaraaf and a specialist in sports law, believes that television rights for Senegalese football do not yet represent a significant source of revenue. Three major obstacles explain this situation, the specialist emphasizes.
The first is legal. The 1984 "Sports Charter," still in force, is now largely outdated. It provides no mechanism for football to benefit from revenues from television broadcasting. A draft Sports Code is currently being adopted, but it will have to make up for several decades of delay.
The second obstacle relates to the quality of the sporting spectacle. Senegalese league matches struggle to generate real interest, particularly because the best players leave the country very early for more lucrative foreign leagues. A situation that Professor Sakho sums up thus: Senegal has become a mere "supplier of raw materials" for world football.
Finally, the third obstacle is strategic and economic. Senegalese clubs lack a long-term vision and a solid structure to position themselves as true economic players. The national daily's source calls for a rethink of the model and advocates for clubs to become true "economic champions," capable of generating sustainable revenues and promoting rights related to sporting events, including those featuring African players playing abroad.
