Senegalese football fans who were recently pardoned by President Macky Sall are expected to arrive at Blaise Diagne International Airport late this Saturday, May 24, 2026. The fans had been detained following incidents during a football match, but received a presidential pardon earlier this week.
According to reports, the group will be welcomed by family members and officials upon their return. The exact number of fans and the duration of their detention have not been confirmed by official sources.
The pardon comes amid efforts to promote national unity and reconciliation following the events. President Sall's office has not issued a detailed statement on the matter as of this writing.
