Basketball in Africa

TANZANIA Basketball Federation (TBF) Union League fixtures will take place from April 23-29 at the National Indoor Stadium in Dar es Salaam.

TBF Secretary-General Lawrence Cheyo said yesterday that the games would involve basketball teams that excelled in Mainland and Isles leagues.
Cheyo called on all teams that will take place in the event to confirm participation before April 19. They should pay a 100,000/- fee.
“Zanzibar teams have so far not submitted details of their representatives. They should do so now. They should also submit names of the men’s and women’s teams,” he said. Cheyo listed the Mainland teams as those excelled at the National Basketball League (NBL)’s recent games in Dodoma.
He named them as Savio, JKT, Oilers and Bees of Tabora from the men’s teams. He listed the women’s teams as JKT, Lady Lioness (from Don Bosco), Jeshi Stars and Mapinduzi of Dodoma.
Last year, the TBF competitions were held in Zanzibar, where JKT men’s team emerged winners while Cargo Ladies won on the women’s side.
