The FIBA Africa Champions Cup for Women, a competition that features top clubs across the continent has rebranded to Africa Women's Basketball League (AWBL) as part of officials' progressive agenda to improve and upgrade it.
This year's edition, the first ever since tournament's rebranding, will take place in Cairo, Egypt, from December 11-19 and will attract 12 teams from different African countries among which Rwanda will be represented by REG women basketball club.
"But there was also a consensus that the FIBA Africa Champions Cup for Women needed a new identity, and so, the AWBL, which was one of the hottest topics of discussions in Maputo, came to existence," a statement by FIBA reads in part. So far, seven teams have booked their places in the 2023 AWBL while five others are expected to play regional qualifiers for the eagerly-anticipated tournament.
Zone V champions Kenya Ports Authority, Overdose Up Station and fellow Cameroonians Universite Douala have also secured their flights to the Egyptian capital.
