Sports news: Financial support from the Saint-Luc Association to the Basketball Club Rehoboth team for the Congo Cup
As part of the 40th edition of the Congo Basketball Cup, the Saint-Luc de Kananga Association provided financial support to the Basket Club Rehoboth, the team participating in this competition. Denise Dusauchoy, president of the association, presented an envelope of $500 to the club’s leaders during a ceremony held on Wednesday, September 6, 2023.
The Rehoboth Basketball Club, whose nomination as revelation of the year during the previous edition had highlighted its talent, is actively preparing for the next edition of the Congo Cup which will be held in Goma. It is in this context that the Saint-Luc sports association decided to provide financial support to the team, thus demonstrating its commitment to the development of sport in the province.
Serge Kikanga, president of the Basket Club Rehoboth, expressed his gratitude to Denise Dusauchoy for this generous gesture. He stressed that the financial assistance comes at the right time, as the team had appealed for help without success so far. He also called on other people of goodwill to support the teams that represent the province in sports competitions, highlighting the importance of sports in the development of the country’s provinces.
This financial support is not the first of its kind, since the Athletic Club du Kasaï had also received a similar sum for the continuation of work on the athletic stadium, a project initiated by Kenir Kenandi Ngandu wa Kabamba, founding president of the ACK .
These financial support actions demonstrate the importance of solidarity and investment in sport for the development of the provinces in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks to these initiatives, local sports teams are able to actively participate in national competitions, proudly representing their province and thus contributing to their influence.
The president of the Saint-Luc Association, Denise Dusauchoy, highlighted the importance of sport in the development of the provinces and called for more support for these teams who fly the colors of their region. By encouraging local sport, we also encourage the socio-economic development of the provinces, thus stimulating a positive dynamic within the population.
In summary, the generous gesture of the Saint-Luc Association towards the Basket Club Rehoboth for its participation in the Congo Cup is a laudable example of support for local sport. It highlights the importance of sport in the development of provinces and calls for increased solidarity towards teams who proudly represent their province in national competitions.
