FIKAGEAR is helping bring hockey to a new generation in Senegal, donating a full set of official Hockey5s rebound boards to the Senegal Hockey Association for use during the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympc Games.
Hockey5s is taking the spotlight at Place du Souvenir in Dakar, where young people, school groups and visitors are discovering the sport through hands-on introductory sessions, demonstrations and grassroots coaching.
The initiative, highlighted in a recent article by the International Hockey Federation (FIH), demonstrates how Hockey5s can introduce hockey to new audiences and create opportunities for participation.
As part of its ongoing partnership with the FIH Academy, FIKAGEAR has gifted a full set of official Hockey5s rebound boards to support the initiative in Senegal.
The donation reflects FIKAGEAR’s commitment to helping clubs, federations and communities make hockey more accessible. By providing equipment for grassroots engagement, the initiative supports opportunities for young people to experience the game and develop an interest in the sport.
