Africell, one of the country’s leading mobile network operators, has officially launched an exhilarating 3-on-3 basketball tournament, slated to take place in March 2025, for its employees. The event, which features a total prize pool of 18,000 new Leones, will be held at the Young Sportsmen Club (YSC) on Wilkinson Road in Freetown.
