Togo’s capital, Lome will host the 2016 FIBA Africa Zone Three Championship from October 21-30 in both men and women divisions.
The nine day tourney will serve as one of the qualifiers for the main FIBA Africa Club Championship. Zone Three President Colonel Sam Ahmedu confirmed the Togo Basketball Federation has indeed agreed to host the mini tournament.
“We are excited that the event will come up in Lome…It is a sign of better things to come in this zone. And in the same way, all the countries in the zone must ensure that their representatives turn up for the event” he said to Kwesesports.com
Teams from Nigeria, Ghana, Republic of Benin, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Liberia and Niger Republic are scheduled to bring forth teams to compete in the competition.
