Rio Indoor Streetball Championship kicks off tonight

The National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue this evening will be a hive of activity when the inaugural ‘Rio Indoor Streetball Championship’ officially commences with the group stage round from 19:00hrs.

According to an official release from tournament coordinator Three Peat Promotions, “The excitement and buzz is certainly in the air for this inaugural tournament. This is the first time in local history that an indoor community/streetball championship will be played for $1,000,000 first prize. It is well deserved for the players who have built this format from its initial humble beginnings and deserved recognition for creating a viable format and alternative of the traditional game.”
