The former President of the United States, Barak Obama, is known to be an inveterate basketball fan … A pure and hard fan to the point of congratulating the Monastirian sports union for his title of African champion, recently won.
Barak Obama congratulated the Usémists, in a tweet broadcast this Friday, June 17, 2022, after their success in Basketball Africa League (BAL).
Finalist of the inaugural season last year, the Monastirian US won, let us recall, on May 25 in Kigali (Rwanda), the second edition of the ball by beating in the final, the Petro de Luanda (83-72).
Congrats to @usmonastirbb for Winning the 2022 Basketball Africa League Finals. You’ve Inspired Countless Young People Across Africa and Around the World With Your Grit and Determination This Season. It’s exciting to see the game we all love expand throughout the continent. pic.twitter.com/2bryvifwff
