FIRST SPECIALIST SPORTS MANAGEMENT COURSE IN SENEGAL

As part of FIFA’s “Win in Africa with Africa” initiative, the International Center for Sports Studies (CIES), based in Neuchâtel (Switzerland), signed a partnership agreement with Dakar’s Cheikh Anta Diop University on 25 April 2006.

One of the first objectives of this new partnership is to create a course for future sports managers from Senegal and neighbouring countries. Such a course will give students a solid grounding in areas as diverse as communications, law, finance, management, organisation of sporting events and marketing. A team of top-quality teachers will also make these management tools even more effective by adapting them to meet local needs.

The first course for sports managers will commence in November. The deadline for enrolment on this course is 25 October 2006.
