Team Boomers sealed their victory with a convincing 19 – 7 win over Team Icons
The launch of the Africa Basketball Festival 2025 on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at the University of Ghana Basketball Court set the perfect stage for the maiden ABF 3X3 Tournament, an energetic competition that featured five spirited teams: Team Boomers, Team OTE, Team Icons, Team Olenge, and Team Iso 308.
Amid the intense matchups and electrifying plays that charged the court throughout the evening, Team Boomers stood out as the dominant side, securing three wins and finishing ahead of all other teams with a wide margin.
They sealed their victory in the final matchup with a convincing 19–7 win over Team Icons, ultimately securing the inaugural tournament crown.
Their squad, made up of Kelvin Jones, David Jackson, Samuel Atiapah, and Bamba Salia, worked seamlessly together, relying on collective effort rather than individual moments—a strategy that proved to be the winning formula against a strong field of competitors.
