FIBA Africa Considers Playing Qualifiers In Bubble

By Sampson Adedeji

The second and final qualifying round for the 2021 AfroBasket will be held in a bubble setting.

According to a statement released by FIBA on Friday, the qualifying round that has two windows, November 2020 and February 2021, the next FIBA Afrobasketball tournament will be played at different venues but with each venue hosting a maximum of 8 teams.

Each bubble will consist of at most two groups to enable proper monitoring.

The development comes at a time after FIBA made an inquiry about the possibility of Rwanda hosting three groups.
