The Adamasingba Stadium Basketball Court in Ibadan will be the center of basketball action on January 17 and 18, 2025, as the 4th edition of the Ibadan Basketball Championship takes place.
The highly anticipated tournament will feature intense competition, with a cash prize of ₦850,000 awaiting the winner.
Shola Durojaiye, a member of the Oyo State Basketball Association, speaking on behalf of the Ibadan Basketball Players in Diaspora, outlined the purpose of the event.
“The Ibadan Basketball Championship is an annual tournament aimed at providing male and female basketball players in Oyo State with opportunities to develop their skills and showcase their talents,” he said.
The tournament seeks to fill the gap in basketball competitions within the state—a challenge that many of the organizers experienced during their own careers as players.
This year’s edition promises an exciting lineup, including games from top male and female basketball teams, wheelchair basketball exhibitions, live music, food vendors, and a strong community atmosphere.
Basketball enthusiasts are invited to join in the excitement and witness two days of high-energy action and vibrant festivities.
