Rwanda will later this year play host to the 2023 Women Afrobasket Championship.
According to the organisers, intense women basketball actions will take place between July 28 and August 6.
Up to 12 qualified countries are expected to participate.
Those already qualified include reigning champions Nigeria, hosts Rwanda, Mali, Cameroon, Senegal, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Egypt.
The remaining spots for the biennial Women’s Afrobasket will be determined in the upcoming months via regional qualifiers.
Rwanda has hosted a slew of continental competitions in recent years, including the 2021 Afrobasket, Window 2 of the World Cup African Qualifiers, and the Final Round of the last three seasons of BAL.
