📌 Welcome to the family, Ayo, the mascot of the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games. He takes centre stage as we approach the Opening Ceremony next Saturday (31 October).
Since their introduction in Singapore 2010, the Youth Olympic Games have their own mascots. For Dakar Ayo was born. The name means “joy” in Yoruba, a language widely spoken in West Africa, mainly Nigeria.
Ayo is a smiley young lion with a mane. He wears a Tingandé, the traditional hat worn by the Fulani ethnic group, who are spread across several African countries. He also wears a white T-shirt bearing the Dakar 2026 emblem and red, yellow and green shorts. His outfit blends contemporary fashion with traditional clothing.
Ayo symbolises the joyful and courageous soul of the African youth, embodying celebration, hospitality and the unity in diversity.
➡️ The other members of the family are:
▪️Singapore 2010: Lyo and Merly
▪️Innsbruck 2012: Yoggl
▪️Nanjing 2014: Nanjinglele
▪️Lillehammer 2016: Sjogg
▪️Buenos Aires 2018: Pandi
▪️Lausanne 2020: Yodli
▪️Gangwon 2024: Moongcho
