NPC Colombia Girls Team Competes in Paris with EMCA Support

With the assistance of EMCA and its wide-reaching network, a memorable international basketball encounter recently took place in Paris.

EMCA member NPC Rieti played a pivotal role in arranging a friendly basketball match for one of its affiliated clubs, NPC Colombia, as part of an ongoing exchange program focused on youth sports development and cross-cultural collaboration.

The NPC Colombia girls’ team, which travels to Europe several times a year, participates in training sessions and development programs under the guidance of NPC Rieti coaches. These visits aim to elevate both the individual and team skills of the athletes, helping them gain exposure to European basketball standards.

As part of this effort, a friendly match was organized in Paris against the Paris Université Club girls’ team. The game not only offered competitive experience to the Colombian players but also symbolized the strong bonds being fostered through EMCA’s network of cooperation.

This initiative forms part of a broader collaboration plan, with similar friendly games being prepared for the male NPC Colombia team in the near future, strengthening EMCA’s mission to unite communities through sport.
