Faya – Kabada’s Wrestling Warrior Making Waves in Senegal
From the village of Sare Bokara in Kabada, emerges a fearless fighter and rising star in the world of Mbapat (traditional wrestling) — Faya. He began his journey in Sare Bokara and quickly became a dominant force across the Kabada area, competing in villages like Sare Alkali, Touba Mourit, and Sare Sama. For five solid years, Faya remained undefeated, earning the respect and admiration of his people.
With bigger dreams, Faya moved to Kunkujang in The Gambia, where he helped pioneer modern Mbapat — full-contact wrestling that pushed limits. His talent caught the attention of the father of Senegalese wrestling legend Ama Baldé, who saw greatness in Faya and brought him to Dakar, Senegal. There, he lived in Pikine with Ama Baldé’s family, further sharpening his skills.
Faya later relocated to Guédiawaye, where his sister resides, and continued wrestling while working hard. In Senegal’s competitive arena, he has already fought 5 professional combats, winning 2, losing 3— a promising start in a new wrestling world.
He now prepares for his next big comba on 12th July 2025, and he is calling on all Kabada people to support him with prayers, encouragement, and unity.
“I may fight alone in the ring,” he says, “but I carry the strength and pride of Kabada in my heart.”
Let’s stand behind Faya — a true son of Kabada, lifting our name with every step he takes. His courage is our pride. His fight is our legacy.
