South Sudan beat Angola this Saturday, September 02, in the World Basketball Ranking games. Final score 101-78. But this success has another major stake: qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games. Currently ranked higher, South Sudan has qualified for Paris 2024. To take the place of the South Sudanese, Egypt must beat New Zealand by at least 23 points. The mission is off to a poor start, with New Zealand leading by 10 points with 1 min 20 remaining in the 3rd quarter.
