The Mark D Ball Basketball Championships Organising Committee has announced a slight change in date for the commencement of the men’s round of 16 tournament, otherwise tagged “Sweet 16.”
A Statement from the Organisers, signed by the Secretary of the Committee, Umar Abdullahi and made available to Page3news.com.ng, indicated that the Round of 16 jump balls have now been brought forward, to hold between May 7th to 10th, 2022. The championship was earlier scheduled to dunk off from May 10, at the same Indoor Hall, Package B of Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.
Regretting the sudden adjustment in the dates, Abdullahi said it was as a result of the Stadium Management inability to accommodate the Championship, as it has already listed other sporting activities to take place at the same Indoor Sports Hall during the period of the earlier proposed dates.
The statement added that all technical officials and qualified teams have been duly notified, and are all expected to arrive in Abuja on Friday May 6, 2022.
