Rwanda’s men and Egypt women each won their respective opening games on Saturday, December 3, to start the FIBA 3×3 Africa Cup 2022 campaign in Cairo, Egypt, on an impressive note.
Rwanda’s men shocked 2019 winners Egypt in a nail-biter 21-19 before putting 15-7 past Botswana to finish the opening day of the tournament undefeated and hence go top of Pool A.
Starman Jean Jacques Wilson Nshobozwabyosenumukiza posted a combined 17 points in both games to position Rwanda as a surprise package for the tournament.
In the women’s category, reigning champions Egypt continued their continental dominance as they defeated both Madagascar (21-13) and Tunisia (17-10) to go top of women’s Pool A.
Rwanda returns to action on Sunday, December 4, at 1:10 pm as they look to beat Madagascar to end the group stages unbeaten.
