President of European club plans to acquire a team in Senegal. What’s the goal?

Polish Ekstraklasa newcomer Motor Lublin has emerged as a competitive force this season, finishing the first round at least in eighth place—a respectable achievement. However, the club’s president, Zbigniew Jakubas, has even grander ambitions, including establishing a foothold in African football.

Details: Jakubas revealed plans to either purchase or create a club in Senegal, aiming to use it as a talent pipeline for Motor. Several Senegalese players have already made a significant impact at the Lublin-based club, and this model is seen as the foundation for future growth.

Quote: “If everything goes well, I might buy or set up a club in Senegal. There, we’ll develop players in our style. Infrastructure will need to be built because that’s a big challenge over there,” Jakubas told Dziennik Wschodni.

Reminder: Motor Lublin returned to Poland’s top division this season for the first time since 1992. The team previously spent seven seasons in the elite tier of Polish football.
