Organisational Constraints of Traditional Wrestling in Senegal.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the main constraints affecting the organisation of traditional wrestling inSenegal. Using a mixed qualitative and quantitative methodology, the study focused on a region in central-western Senegal,Fatick, which is the birthplace of many champions of both Olympic and traditional wrestling. The results reveal, on the onehand, constraints linked to a lack of qualified human resources and, on the other hand, constraints linked to a lack ofstructure in the bodies in charge of traditional wrestling. This seems to show that the organisation of traditional wrestlingsuffers from the absence of resources that meet the needs of the organisation of traditional wrestling, the absence ofhierarchical lines in the organisation of traditional wrestling and the specialisation of human resources and existing bodies.In terms of practical implications, it is necessary to hire trained and specialised human resources to meet needs and toestablish lines of authority in the organisation of traditional wrestling.
