Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Mighty Barrolle\u2019s participation in the Elite 16 of the BAL was secured after an appeal by the Liberia Basketball Association (LBA).<\/p>\n

Liberian basketball champions Mighty Barrolle rebounded from two consecutive losses at the ongoing Basketball Africa League (BAL) Elite 16, securing a 79-68 win over Ghana\u2019s Spintex Knights on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Barrolle entered Thursday\u2019s game following defeats to Libya\u2019s Al Ahly Tripoli (99-75) and Cameroon\u2019s Kadi Sports Academy (81-75). However, they regrouped and clinched their first win in the international tournament, a triumph that coincided with Liberians celebrating Thanksgiving back home.<\/p>\n

Mighty Barrolle\u2019s participation in the Elite 16 of the BAL was secured after an appeal by the Liberia Basketball Association (LBA). Following this appeal, FIBA Africa Zone-3 granted Barrolle a wild card entry. In a letter signed by LBA Secretary General Calvin Diggs, the association highlighted Barrolle\u2019s longstanding role in promoting basketball excellence in Liberia and its eagerness to represent the nation on such a prestigious stage. The LBA emphasized that Barrolle\u2019s participation would enhance player experience, contribute to basketball growth, and raise Liberia\u2019s profile internationally.<\/p>\n

After careful consideration, FIBA accepted Liberia\u2019s request. The Liberian champions qualified as a Wild Card or best loser from the preliminary qualifiers held in Tripoli, Libya, in early October. Barrolle lost two of their three matches but performed well enough to secure a better position than other teams in their bracket.<\/p>\n

The BAL 2025 qualifiers are being held from November 5 to 10, 2024, in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n
