And where all his children were born, raised and studied. Madior Fall was one of the very well-known sports supervisors in the old city, especially at the level of horse racing where he brought his professional touch in the organization, administration and sponsorship. It is thanks to him that the mythical and legendary Champ des Courses Tanor Anta Mbakhar has known its letters of nobility with very great prizes or great horse days. Next to the late President Alassane Diop. Then, upon the arrival of Minister Mbagnick Ndiaye, head of the Department of Sports, he launched the Senegalese Federation of Sports for All.

And this until the disease which ends up keeping him at home, unfortunately got the better of him. With his disappearance, Rufisque lost a Great Man. A multidimensional man. An accomplished intellectual. An Educator at heart. A passionate sportsman. An open and inter-generational man. A man of the modern world. A pious man. Rest in peace Elhadji Pape Madior Fall and may the land of Dangou be light to you. Djiby Guisse
