JAMBAAR26 is the workforce training portal for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, scheduled to open on October 31, 2026, in Dakar, Senegal. Created to prepare the people supporting the event, the platform brings volunteer and contractor training together in one place. Its two dedicated pathways help participants gain the knowledge, tools and practical readiness needed to carry out their roles at Games venues with confidence.

The portal presents training as an essential part of delivering a welcoming, professional and memorable event. It supports shared standards and teamwork while encouraging the “Dakar Attitude,” founded on excellence, respect and solidarity. Through preparation and collaboration, staff, volunteers and contractors are invited to contribute to the experience of athletes, delegations, spectators, partners, media and visitors.

JAMBAAR26 reflects the organisers’ ambition for Dakar 2026 to be more than a sporting occasion: the Games are intended to create a lasting legacy, inspire a generation and showcase Senegal and Africa. The platform’s core service is role-focused workforce learning for those helping bring that ambition to life.
