Hero of the Game : Kabubu, Friendship through sport

Published on November 10, 2026

Last Sunday, the Paris Basketball Foundation honoured Kabubu, a charity that uses sport as a means of promoting inclusion for people in exile.

On a basketball court, sport has the unique power to bring people together. Since 2018, Kabubu has been using sport to promote social and professional inclusion by organising sporting activities open to everyone. Football, basketball and running become spaces for sharing and socialising, with the ultimate aim of forging links between refugees and local people.

The organisation also goes a step further by supporting displaced people in accessing training and employment within the sports sector. Taking part in sport thus becomes a real springboard to new opportunities.

Through its ‘Hero of the Game’ programme, the Paris Basketball Foundation aims to shine a spotlight on those who are making a positive impact through sport. Kabubu perfectly embodies this approach.

A big thank you to Kabubu for joining us at the adidas arena and for his commitment to a more inclusive sport !
