Dear Benson,

Thank you very much for all this information.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I am going to help you with all the other federations and team profiles. In the meantime, let me compile that of FERWABA and also contact my colleague who runs the AfroBasket accounts - men and women.

I will have everything from the FERWABA as soon as possible.

Regards,
