**U23 Wheelchair Basketball: A Competition Full of Determination in Kinshasa**
The world of wheelchair basketball will vibrate intensely from November 2 to 3 in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Indeed, the twin gymnasium of the Stade des Martyrs will be the scene of the qualifiers for the Africa Cup and the Wheelchair Basketball World Cup in the under-23 (U23) category. A competition that promises to be rich in emotions and sporting intensity.
During the press conference held by the president of the Congolese Wheelchair Basketball Federation (FECOBAF), Gege Kizubanata, the atmosphere of excitement and determination was palpable. Despite the financial difficulties encountered, Gege Kizubanata affirmed that everything was in place for the smooth running of these qualifiers. Supported by the Minister of Sports and Leisure, the organization of this competition was assured and the Congolese national team, the Leopards, were ready to defend the colors of their country on the field.
From a competitive point of view, these Twinned qualifiers will see three nations compete: the Central African Republic, Cameroon and the DRC as the host country.
