A tournament that will bring together teams of basketball players and people with disabilities playing in "Wheelchair Basketball” will take place on Saturday.

The tournament of three to three is called "Ferwaba 3X3 elite Challenge". The game is played by people with different physical disabilities that are unable to play in able-bodied sports.

The new discipline was launched in 2018 in Rwanda.

The tourney is organized by the Rwandan Basketball Federation "Ferwaba", in collaboration with the Rwanda Wheelchair Basketball Federation (RWBF), and will be attended by four teams in the category of people with disabilities.

The tournament has a special focus on coordinating the game of basketball for people with disabilities (inclusive sports), and participants include men and women.
