Today’s Afrobasket fixtures

7:00 pm: Senegal vs Uganda
10:00 pm: Kenya vs Ivory Coast

KIU Titans star Ariel Okall will today feature for Kenya in their first Afrobasket 2021 game against Ivory Coast in Kigali, Rwanda.

Kenya will face off with Ivory Coast in a group C game at 10:00 pm and Okall will hope to play a big part for his country as they aim to win the tournament for the first time in their history.

This will however be a tall order for the East African nation as they begin the tournament with a game against one of the top-ranked sides on the continent.

Ivory Coast is ranked number 5 in Africa in the FIBA World Rankings, while Kenya is ranked number 19. Okall is the only KIU Titans player who will feature at the Afrobasket, Africa's premier basketball championship.

Meanwhile, before Okall and Kenya take to the stage, Uganda will face off with Senegal at 7:00 pm.
