Thanks to a rock-solid defense—conceding just 6 goals—the club celebrates its third national title and secures a ticket to the CAF Champions League. The mastermind behind this achievement is Malick Daf, who made history by winning back-to-back league titles with two different clubs. Last season, he guided Jaraaf Dakar to the summit of Senegal at the age of 57.
