Ariel Koranga has added a ring to his already rich basketball resume. On 18th October 2021, Albasheer, an Oman based team which he suits up for, bagged a 74-65 victory against Nizwa Club.
The 6’9 forward has now played for three different teams in the gulf. He joined Albasheer in February 2021 but the season was disrupted by the Covid 19 global pandemic forcing him to fly back home.
Okall, was available for all the league games with his new team, missing only a couple while on the national assignment with the Morans team in Cameroon, earlier in March.
Okall notes that this win was no small feat for him.
” Playing out here is hard. Mental toughness is key. The league is set up differently.”
He owes the championship to the great squad that was assembled by Albashaer management.
As the 2020/2021 season comes to an end, the focus shifts to the Oman Sultan Cup, which kicks of on 23rd October. This will be followed closely by the new 2021/2022 season set to begin a month after the end of the Oman Sultan cup.
”There’s a lot to be done,” he says.
Congratulations to him
