Alibaba Cloud built Senegal's first dedicated Olympic cloud foundation for the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games, with core systems such as event ticketing, registration, and schedule queries all deployed on it. According to a Leiphone report on November 3, 2026, after the Games this cloud will be handed over in its entirety to Senegal and converted into a national cloud platform. The same report noted that Alibaba Cloud's dedicated cloud international business nearly doubled in growth in the first half of the year, but accounts for less than 5% of overall business while consuming close to 50% of the department's resources. Currently this dedicated cloud foundation is already in use for the Games' core systems, and further information on the subsequent handover arrangements is still pending.
