Nationality Controversy Overshadows Angola's FIBA World Cup Loss

Angola men's basketball coach Pep Claros Canals criticized the practice of naturalizing players after his team's loss to the Dominican Republic at the FIBA World Cup. Canals believes that FIBA should put a stop to this practice to ensure the development of local players. He expressed concern over players representing countries they have no connection to and emphasized the need for each country to develop its own players. The loss prevented Angola from advancing to the second round, while the Dominican Republic, which has no naturalized players but several players born outside the country, topped the group.
