Evolutionary Africa on all levels, including in particular on the sport or continent, has managed to impose itself on the global chessboard on several levels and on as many sports disciplines to the point of raising the “lust” of other European but also American and Asian continents
The strength of Africa lies in its youth although badly subjected to other continents, the fact remains that this youth has been able to impose itself bravely, although it lacks atrociously of adequate infrastructure
The fact remains, it is a fact that certain international sports authorities have finally seen fit to take a closer look at the “rare nuggets” which develop day by day in Africa
As a result was then born a bright idea in February 2019 during the All-Star Weekend, when the NBA and the FIBA announced the creation of Basketball Africa League (BAL), a Basketball Champions League in Africa.
An ambitious approach that will restore the coat of arms to the continent and allow a certain positive initiation for all young Africans eager to want to integrate the world of basketball and thus be able to make a name for itself at the highest level of which is the example of this Kalahari Basketball Conference tournament which is currently taking place in Rabat and which will open new horizons to many practitioners for a better future because Upon point on the means to want to succeed in this global and very important event both for them and for all the components which participate directly or indirectly in its success already acquired at all levels
The ambition of the ball is to create the conditions to bring out a basketball economy which aims to reach young Africans by helping them to develop their leadership and by relying on champions-models with which they can identify, while having the will to change their eyes on the continent and to open new horizons for the world of sport in Africa
The conference therefore aims to discuss the professionalization of sport on the African continent and the impacts of sport on human development.
