The Main Organizing Committee of the maiden edition of the FAZ3 Academies Championship has increased the number of venues to be used for the competition.

We gathered that Dolphins Indoor Basketball Court at Onikpètèsi is the additional venue to be used for the championship that is generating huge interest and excitement among basketball stakeholders in the West African sub region.

The Chair Person of the Main Organizing Committee, Elder Toba Shinkaye said the event, originally scheduled to hold at the Warriors Basketball Court in Ilupeju, will now host some matches at the Dolphins Indoor Basketball Court at Onikpètèsi, Lagos.

The decision to increase the match venue is due to the timing of the competition. “Bearing in mind the number of matches to be played against the backdrop of the rainy season, we have to get the event done as scheduled.

Both venues have been given a facelift to match the international status of the competition backed by FIBA Africa, FIBA Africa Zone 3 and the host National Federation - the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF).

We gathered that a good number of entries have been received for the inaugural FIBA Africa Zone 3 (FAZ3) Academies Basketball Tournament, set to take place in Lagos from July 4 to 8, 2025.

This landmark event, the first of its kind in the Zone, has generated significant excitement across the Zone with teams from Ghana and Benin Republic as well as host Nigeria having confirmed their entries as additional entries are expected from other countries in the zone by the June 20 deadline for confirmation.
