“There’s a difference between a chancer and a lover. When you love something, everything falls into place. But when you’re just taking a chance, things tend to fall apart,” said Makavan.

“We’re doing this tournament because we are basketball lovers. We love the sport. We want to grow it. We’re doing what we love. You know, when you do something you love, it’s not a challenge,” he added.

After months of delays, financial hurdles, and sheer determination, the Vale Tournament 2025 (TVT) finally came to life—uniting African basketball talent and proving that passion can triumph over adversity.

TVT 2025 was a slam dunk — and it wouldn’t have been possible without YOU!
