Paris vibed during the Africa Game !

Published on February 3, 2025

For our game against Cholet on Sunday, January 26, Paris Basketball transformed the adidas arena into a celebration of African culture for our 5th Africa Game.

On Sunday, January 26, we hosted Cholet for the 17th round of the Betclic ELITE. In addition to our players’ impressive victory, we also delivered a stunning show throughout the arena, embodying the spirit of the African continent.

From braid workshops to a wide selection of African flavors, the crowd fully enjoyed the pre-game experience. A carnival troupe paraded through the adidas arena and later performed during player introductions, getting all 8,000 spectators dancing.

Courtside celebrities, including Nigerian artist CKay and former NBA star Joakim Noah, witnessed an unforgettable game. At halftime, singer Merveille delivered an impressive showcase, before Nadir Hifi and T.J. Shorts II sealed the night by defeating league leader Cholet in an electrifying atmosphere!

A spectacular evening celebrating African culture in a sold-out adidas arena—this is the magic of Paris Basketball!
