Former US President Barack Obama has teamed up with America’s elite basketball body, the NBA and the sport’s global governing body FIBA, to start a professional league in Africa.
The Basketball Africa League will initially have 12 teams and is slated to begin in January. Qualification tournaments will be held later this year to determine those clubs, with teams from Angola, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa and Tunisia expected to be among those taking part. No nation will have more than two teams in the league.
