The president of the ACES (European Capital and Cities of Sports Federation), Gian Francesco Lupattelli, could well award Dakhla his “Capital of Sports” label. Allegedly Gian Francesco Lupattelli met with the mayor of Dakhla, Sidi Slouh el-Joumani, on 8 November 2019 to confirm the process.
Indeed, there are increasing activities in Dakhla.
