Fall had stated changes to the format were inevitable earlier in the interview and followed with the start date period league administrators had in mind.
“We hope towards the end of November or December. But everything will depend on where we find the best conditions…I am confident and if conditions allow, it will be with our partners from FIBA and the host country” he said.
12 teams from various African countries including AS Sale from Morocco, AS Police from Mali have qualified to compete in the inaugural edition.
The teams have been grouped in the Nile Conference and Savannah Conference.
