2000-seat modular grandstand in Senegal: Alcor Équipements participated in its own way to the AFCON



For the Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations held in Senegal in 2015, Alcor Équipements took on a major challenge: building a 2,000-seat modular stand at the Caroline Faye stadium in Mbour. The host country unfortunately lost in the final against Nigeria. However, local supporters were able to dream until the end thanks to this Alcor modular grandstand in Senegal.

Installation of a 2,000-seat modular grandstand in Senegal in just 3 days!

The construction of this modular stand in Senegal, with a length of 110 meters, showcased the technical and logistical expertise of Alcor Equipements. Our company successfully assembled the stand in just 3 days!

This feat was achieved despite particularly difficult weather conditions. Indeed, we had to deal with sandstorms that slowed down the assembly process of this 2,000-seat grandstand. To overcome these challenges, Alcor Equipements mobilized an experienced technician on site. The fitters were recruited from qualified local workers. With this project to install a temporary grandstand in Senegal, Alcor has proven its ability to successfully complete a variety of complex projects.

This stand has given the stadium a new lease of life and brought full satisfaction to the organizers (FIFA, Senegalese Ministry of Sports). Interestingly for football fans, Mbour, a tourist town located 80 km south of Dakar, is also the headquarters of the prestigious Diambars training center.

Why add seats to a stadium via a modular grandstand?

Adding seats to a stadium via a modular grandstand, as was done at the Caroline Faye stadium in Senegal, has many advantages. First of all, it allows a greater number of spectators to be accommodated. This allows organizers to increase ticketing revenue without having to invest in expensive extension work.

In addition, a modular grandstand with 2,000 seats or more helps to improve the atmosphere in the stadium. In football and many other sports, fans are essential to create an atmosphere and push athletes to surpass themselves.

This is positive for the level of the competition, but also for the rest of the public. Greater attendance thanks to a temporary grandstand makes events more attractive to the general public and the media.

In the case of international events such as the African Cup of Nations, having sufficient capacity is crucial to meet the requirement of organizers and the expectations of fans around the world. With a mobile grandstand, thousands of seats can be gained without creating future empty stadiums.
