History-Making Olympic Debut for the South Sudan Men's Basketball Team
A Rousing Success On and Off the Court
A Symbol of Progress and Unity
The Olympic debut of the South Sudan men's basketball team has been a resounding success, both on and off the floor. Tens of thousands of South Sudanese flags waved proudly in the stands, a powerful symbol of unity and progress for a nation that emerged from a long and brutal civil war just 14 years ago.
The youngest country in the world made history at the Olympic Games, winning its first Olympic basketball game. The victory represents a remarkable achievement for South Sudan, which is ranked 33rd in the FIBA World Ranking Men presented by Nike.
The team's performance comes less than a year after South Sudan made its historic debut in the FIBA AfroBasket tournament. The team's success on the international stage is a testament to the resilience and determination of the South Sudanese people.
South Sudan's Olympic journey will continue on July 28th, when they take to the court for their first game in the men's basketball tournament.
