Title-holders Urunani withdraw from Zone 5 Hoops tournament

Defending champions Urunani of Burundi have pulled out of this year's Fiba/Africa Zone V Club Championships, which starts today and will run until August 31 in Mombasa, Kenya. The decision to withdraw from the regional tournament, arose from the team's failure to raise funds for their trip to Mombasa. Two other Burundian teams-Newstars (men) and Berco Stars (women) have also pulled out due to the same reason.
