FIBA AFROBASKET 2021

Impeccable so far, the Senegal Lions were knocked out this Saturday in the semi-final of the Afrobasket men Rwanda 2021 by a beautiful Ivorian team (75-65). The Ivorians join in the final the defending champion, Tunisia, victorious over Cape Verde by the same score (75-65).

The Lions are in the square of Aces. The players of Gorgui Sy Dieng suffered Angola by 79 to 74 in the quarterfinals of the men’s Afrobasket Rwanda 2021. In the semi-final, Senegal will come up against Côte d’Ivoire, executioner of Guinea Conakry.

The last eight contenders for the 2021 FIBA AFROBASKET are known. These are Senegal, Angola, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea Conakry, Tunisia, South Sudan, Cape Verde and Uganda.

The Senegalese national team made a success of its entry into this 30th edition of the FIBA men’s Afrobasket Rwanda 2021. Gorgui Sy Dieng’s team largely dominated Uganda by 93-55. However, Cameroon could not honour their first game. Affected by Covid-19, the Indomitable Lions lost on the green carpet in front of South Sudan.

Reigning African Champions, Tunisia stood out from the start. In the opening match of this 30th edition of the men’s Afrobasket, the Tunisians largely marked Guinea Conakry on Tuesday by 82 to 46.
