Cameroon has emerged triumphant as the winners of the Africa Pre-Olympic basketball tournament.

The Cameroonian Basketball team were able to secure a win after defeating Senegal 80-74, yesterday, August 20.

The event, which Nigeria hosted, highlighted the participating countries’ extraordinary talent and spirit of competition.

Nigeria recently played host to eight African basketball teams from August 12 to August 20, 2023. The teams gathered for the pre-qualifiers, a crucial step on their path to the Olympic Games in Paris. The Federation International Basketball Association selected Nigeria as the proud hosts of this prestigious event.

The tournament was held at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos, the most populous city and former capital of Nigeria.

Consequently, Cameroon has successfully secured a spot in the next qualifying round. Success at the next round will guarantee them a spot at the next Olympic Games, which will take place in Paris, France in the summer of 2024.
