Mozambique will do battle in Zone 6 Group H against rivals Botswana, hosts Zimbabwe and Seychelles in the Zimbabwe capital of Harare from March 19-25. The team that comes out on top will earn a place in the Final Round of this year’s FIBA AfroBasket taking place in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo (August 19-30).
The qualifiers will be played in a round-robin format with each team taking on its three opponents. The team that finishes second in Group H will have a second chance of advancing to Brazzaville by taking on the second-placed team of Group G, which consists of Zambia, Angola, Madagascar and South Africa.
