In the world of Congolese basketball, sad news shook sports fans. Joy Mubulanyi, player of BC Virunga de Goma, suffered an open fracture of the femur of his left leg during a match against SCTP. This serious injury required his transfer to Kigali, Rwanda, where he will undergo surgery.
This sad news aroused concern and compassion not only among his teammates and the basketball world, but also among all the participants in this 40th edition of the Congo Cup, which is taking place for the first time in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Goma and Bukavu, in the provinces of North and South Kivu.
Despite the logistical constraints linked to transport in this region, the attendance at the competition was rather satisfactory. Club leaders have made enormous efforts to allow Congolese youth to participate in this event, which deserves to be praised.
