A historic day for African basketball, with South Sudan and Cape Verde getting World Cup wins

South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, and Cape Verde pick up World Cup wins

South Sudan is the world’s youngest country, gaining its independence only 12 years ago. Cape Verde is one of the world’s least-populated countries, with fewer residents than any country that qualified for the Basketball World Cup.

“I’m still speechless,” said Cape Verde’s Will Tavares, a Rhode Island-born forward who scored 20 points in Monday’s win. “I feel like I’m in a dream right now, but the win was so big for us and our country and our families. We made a statement. Even though we’re the smallest country, we have so much heart.”

“I’m just blessed and honoured to be a part of this,” South Sudan’s Nuni Omot said. “This journey so far, it’s just been an emotional and amazing feeling for me. And I know everyone else on the team feels the same way as well.”
