Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Burundian champions Dynamo Basketball Club have been kicked out of the Basketball Africa League (BAL) 2024 after a second straight forfeiture over their refusal to display the “Visit Rwanda” shirt sponsorship.<\/p>\n

The development was announced by BAL president Amadou Gallo Fall on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Fall claimed that the Burundian side further refused to comply with the BAL’s rules and requirements governing jerseys and uniforms, thereby forfeiting Tuesday’s Kalahari Conference game against Angolan powerhouse Petro de Luanda at SunBet Arena in Pretoria, South Africa.<\/p>\n

Under FIBA rules, two forfeitures in the same tournament trigger the club’s automatic withdrawal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very unfortunate situation for the players and fans, and we share the frustrations of everyone involved. All remaining Kalahari Conference games will be played as scheduled, and we look forward to engaging fans in Pretoria through expanded fan and community events,” Fall said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Dynamo\u2019s withdrawal from BAL comes two days after the same club refused to sport the \u2018Visit Rwanda\u2019 logo at the bottom front of their jerseys, forcing the club to forfeit their second Kalahari Conference game against Moroccan side FUS Rabat on Monday.<\/p>\n

BAL, organised by the NBA and FIBA, has had a partnership with the Rwanda development board since the tournament’s inaugural 2021 season which was hosted in Kigali.<\/p>\n

The existing partnership indicates that all teams sport \u201cVisit Rwanda\u201d on their jerseys but Dynamo failed to do so, leading to forfeit against the FUS Rabat game.<\/p>\n

Dynamo officials had put black tape over the logo during a BAL season-opening 86-73 victory over the Cape Town Tigers on March 9, leaving BAL officials unimpressed.<\/p>\n

Times Sport understands that the NBA Africa academy are replacing them.<\/p>\n
