The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Millennium bim, Moisés Jorge, highlights the importance of this tournament: “Mini Basketball has been a true platform of transformation for thousands of children across the country. More than a competition, it is an opportunity to foster healthy habits, encourage participation in sport nationwide and reinforce values such as empathy, solidarity and team spirit. We are proud that, over these 17 years, we have contributed to the development of responsible citizens and to the future of Mozambican sport”.
Since its creation, the Mini Basketball Tournament has had the support of the Mozambican Basketball Federation, the Mozambican Mini Basketball Committee and Impar/Fidelidade, in an initiative that has already benefited around 20,550 children, establishing itself as a benchmark in sports training in Mozambique.
This initiative is part of the “Mais Moçambique pra Mim” Social Responsibility programme, which has been implementing various activities in the social, cultural, sporting, environmental and educational fields, always with the aim of promoting the well-being of Mozambicans, with special attention to children and young people.
