Youcef Ouldyassia Hello, my name is Youcef Ouldyassia, I’m 45 years old. I came to the basketball world when I was a kid. I think I was around nine years old when I first started with basketball. I was in France, where I grew up. Dr Lindsay Sarah Krasnoff And how did you first become involved with basketball in Africa? Youcef Ouldyassia How I was involved with basketball in Africa, I was playing professionally in France in the first division [today’s ProA]. I was a member of the French National Team [U23]. The Algerian National Team—because I’m Algerian by my parents, they are both born and raised in Algeria then they came to France—the Algerian National Team didn’t have resources or money to make players from all around the world come to play for the national team, so for the longest period, they didn’t call other players.

Son lancement a été annoncé lors du All Star Week- End par la ligue nord-américaine (NBA) et la fédération internationale (FIBA). © 2021BAL Properties Ltd. Photo by Nicole Sweet/BALP/Getty Images. All Rights Reserved. IRIS : Initialement prévue en mars 2020, la saison inaugurale de la BAL s’est finalement déroulée en mai 2021 à Kigali, au Rwanda, dans un format réduit. Quel bilan tirez-vous de cette première saison ? AMADOU GALLO FALL : Nous venons d’écrire un nouveau chapitre dans l’histoire du basketball africain et mondial voire dans l’histoire du sport tout simplement. Nous n’avions pas pu l’organiser en mars 2020 en raison de la pandémie, mais notre conviction de l’importance de cette ligue pour le continent nous a poussés à explorer toutes les solutions possibles. Nous avons convenu de jouer l’ensemble des 26 matches de cette première saison à Kigali, car la ville offrait les conditions sportives et sanitaires que nous recherchions. Nous sommes extrêmement satisfaits d’avoir pu mettre en place un cadre qui nous a permis de préserver la santé de tous afin d’offrir un spectacle de haut niveau.
