NBBF Rolls Out Time Table for Domestic Basketball Leagues

Written By sportsweight.blogspot.com on Monday, October 22, 2018 | 3:17 AM


The Nigeria Basketball Federation, NBBF, has thanked basketball players and club owners for their understanding and patience during the long drawn out period of uncertainty regarding the 2018 basketball season.

Its president, Musa Kida, who admitted that it was not an easy task to stabilize the game of basketball in Nigeria, said the federation had resolved to give the players the right platform in order to develop and reach the stars.

Kida, said Nigeria was one of the few countries left in Africa whose representatives for the newly introduced Afro League starting in 2019 had not be announced because the leagues had not been concluded.

The NBBF boss, said that the delay was a blessing in disguise as eventual qualifiers would head straight to the continent fresh from domestic league action which would be good for their overall outing.

He called on all stakeholders to join hands with the NBBF board in ensuring a successful basketball season.

First Bank Women’s Basketball team of Lagos will begin its Premier League title defense on Sunday October, 28th when the conference phase of the Women Basketball Premier league starts.

The 2018 League season will be held in an abridged format based on the short window before the FIBA Africa Zone 3 Club Championship Zonal elimination starting in November.

With the recent admission of Mountain of Fire Women’s Basketball Club into the Premier League, ten baskertball teams from the South West, South East and South South will converge on Enugu.

While nine teams from the Savannah conference, North West, North East and North Central will battle for supremacy in Abuja between 28th of October and 2nd of November, 2018

Six teams will qualify for the National finals in Lagos between November 3rd and 7th.

Winner and first runners up will represent Nigeria at the FIBA Zone 3 Women Champions qualifiers in Cotonou between November 12th and 15th.
