Nigeria is in group B alongside Australia and winners of the Olympic Qualifying T

As per today's statement the Croatian basketball federation proposes two possible futures for Croatian basketball teams:

1. playing in the Croatian national league + the FIBA BCL

2. playing in the Croatian national league + the FIBA BCL + a new regional tournament

For those who are unfamiliar the Croatian, Slovenian and Bosnian teams (with a special scenario for Cedevita Olimpija and Igokea who miss most of the regular season) have been playing their national leagues parallel to the ABA league in order to promote basketball within the country while the Serbian and Montenegrin teams have been playing ABA league and then their national league after the conclusion of ABA league.

This puts the Croatian teams in an awkward position as their schedule would be too dense in they played in a European competition while playing two full league seasons at the same time. The last team to attempt so was Olimpija before the merger with Cedevita and it ended with them being relegated. As the Croatian federation has no intention of scraping the full national league season the ABA league would have to be abandoned in order to free up the schedule to play the BCL. They propose a new regional competition with a tournament system that would take less time, or no regional competition if a bargain isn't struck. They would also demand that the Croatian Premier league winner be rewarded a place in the BCL with out playing the qualifying tournament.

AFEN has successfully closed a deal with the Nigeria Basketball Federation, which is certainly exciting news. AFEN will have exclusive rights to mint and sell the D'tigers digital collectibles on the AFEN NFT marketplace when it launches. If you're unfamiliar with the D'tigers, here's a rundown of what they're all about and why they're the talk of the town right now. Precious Achiuwa, Gabe Vincent, and KZ Okpala are among the top NBA players on the D'tigers team. The D'tigers team also accomplished the unthinkable by defeating the United States 90-87 in the exhibition games preceding the start of the Olympic basketball tournament in Tokyo.
AFEN also sponsors the D'tigers' official theme song. As we await the official unveiling of a functioning NFT marketplace, AFEN continues to seek meaningful partnerships. It is expedient at this point to keep in mind that AFEN NFT marketplace will be launching on August 20th, 2021

Terms of office is the Argentine Federation, which exists just four years (since the collapse of the Quijote Hegemony) take also 4 years. This means that new elections will be held this year.

The past year a governing coalition was formed out of 5 parties: PDC (corporatist), Prog. (social-democrat), Camb. (liberal), ACD (christian-democrat) and FIT (trotskyist). The leftist parties gained much popularity as it was their initiative to strengthen diplomatic relations with Chile, which grew to the UAN were many Latin American countries are a member of now.

The UAN is a large issue of these elections, as right-wing parties as the PIA, NCA and ESF are strongly against continuation of the Argentine membership of the UAN. Argentina should be the greatest country of the world and not be influenced by for instance Brazil. Leftist parties (PDC, Prog., FIT) see much potential in the growing UAN and think that this will be the beginning of a new prosperous era in whole Latin America.

Last year the Argentine Federation started a 4 year plan to refurbish the slums. According to the leftist parties this improves the local economy and it should be normal to share wealth. Right-wing and liberal parties think however that having own responsibility and freedom is better for the economy, as the 4 year plan is too expensive.

The prohibition of fascism seems to throw coal on the fire, as according to the PIA, NCA and ESF this is just a faint attempt to subvert freedom of speech. But according to advocates of the prohibition, fascism has just reently proved itself as a non-functionating and democracy-suppressing ideology that must be resisted.

Further there are tiny issues that seem not have any importance in the debates.

The current parties in the Chamber of Deputies:

SAFTA, or the South American Free Trade Agreement, is an agreement amongst Brazil, Argentina, and Peru that creates a trilateral trade bloc between the three nations.

Effective immediately, nearly all manufactured goods will be tariff free between the countries. As a result, trade between the three counties is expected to surpass $213 billion USD by 2030, as well as a significant increase in foreign investment.

Leaders of the countries, please sign below to confirm this next step towards a brighter South America.
