Get ready for an incredible event! The African Basketball Festival (ABF) is coming to the United States in August 2024. This festival, created by RITE Sports in Ghana, brings together basketball teams, fashion brands, and musicians from around the world for a celebration of culture and sport.
The ABF has already taken place in 2019, 2022, and 2023, featuring teams from Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Liberia, the USA, and France. This year, the festival will start in the USA with mini-festivals in several cities before culminating in Ghana in 2025. Basketball fans, fashion enthusiasts, and music lovers are all excited to experience this dynamic blend of basketball, fashion, and music.
Yaw Sakyi Afari, the founder of RITE Sports, is behind this festival. He has transformed basketball in Ghana with programs like the Sprite Ball Championship and the UPAC Basketball Championship. The ABF is an extension of his dream to promote unity and cultural exchange through sports.
In October 2024, the ABF will take place at the University of Ghana with a summit on sports, innovation, and entertainment to explore the intersections of these fields. It will be a unique opportunity to see incredible talents, participate in exciting discussions, and create unforgettable memories.
