Kenya's national basketball team, the Morans, suffered an embarrassing setback after failing to show up for their opening match against Tunisia in the second round of the 2025 FIBA AfroBasket qualifiers in Tripoli, Libya. The team's late arrival resulted in an automatic 20-0 walkover defeat, dealing a major blow to their qualification hopes.
FIBA confirmed the development in an official statement: "Due to Kenya's late arrival in Tripoli (Libya), the team did not appear for their scheduled game against Tunisia on 21 February 2025. As a result, the game has been forfeited in favour of Tunisia."
