The Africa Basketball Festival (ABF) is set to officially launch its 2025 edition tomorrow, Wednesday, 19th November 2025, at the University of Ghana Basketball Court, Legon at exactly 3 PM. This year’s launch marks a special moment as the ABF celebrates its fifth anniversary, and organizers are rolling out a vibrant new direction built around a “Five (5) Theme.”
The Five (5) Theme symbolizes ABF’s growth over the past five (5) years and shapes the entire experience heading into December.
This year’s edition will bring together five countries battling for the ABF Trophy, five fashion brands showcasing at the 2025 ABF Fashion Show and Cultural Night, and five electrifying musical performances from the top five (5) contestants from the ABF Music Rising Star that will light up the main stage.
For the first time ever, the festival will also run for five consecutive days from December 10th to 14th offering fans a rich blend of basketball, music, fashion, entertainment, and cultural celebration.
Tomorrow’s launch will not just reveal the full lineup and festival direction; it will also give fans a live preview of the energy to expect this December.
Right after the official announcement ceremony, a spirited 3×3 basketball tournament will take place on the court, featuring five competitive teams going head-to-head in a showdown to win the Ghc 2000 cash prize and goodies from our sponsors. This post-launch competition is designed to showcase the festival’s basketball culture and build excitement for the main event.
The Africa Basketball Festival has spent five years merging sport and entertainment into one powerful cultural experience, shaping December in Ghana and uniting fans across the world. With this new anniversary edition, the festival is stepping into an elevated chapter that celebrates its journey, honors its roots, and sets the tone for even bigger years ahead.
Tomorrow’s launch promises energy, creativity, and a true taste of the ABF spirit as the countdown to December officially begins.
