Rwanda men’s team booked a quarter finals berth in the 2023 FIBA AfroCAN after a commanding 73-62 victory over Mozambique in Wednesday’s qualification playoff game.

Yves Murenzi’s men had lost their two group phase games against Tunisia (61-67) and Morocco (59-58) and they knew a win over Mozambique in the qualification game would help them seal a quarter final place.
