Description
After reaching retirement, Jean-Marc Adjovi-Boco, former Benin’s defender, launched his dream project with Senegalese Bernard Lama and entrepreneur Saer Seck to take part in the development of football in Senegal, as well as in the whole of Africa. This project was given the name of Diambars, a Wolof term meaning “warriors”. The first stone was laid in Saly, which is just south of Dakar, in 2003 with Lama, Seck, and French footballer Patrick Vieira. Diambars became a professional club in 2008 and joined the second division. A dozen players that play in the European championships were trained the academy, and in mid-August 2010, the “warriors” were able to celebrate their first national title.
