Shirikisho la Mpira wa Kikapu Zanzibar
Senior women

Malkia wa Visiwa

The queens of the islands. Women’s basketball is a first team of this Federation, with its own calendar, its own captain, and a budget line that is written down.

Working draft for the Federation. Every heading, paragraph, stat and button on these pages is an Elementor widget. Replace any line with your official text, or delete a section you do not need.

The standard

Stone Town Queens, Pemba Stars, Unguja Flame and Mnazi Mmoja Lionesses already play a league people can follow. The national team is built from that table, plus any eligible player in a school or academy who is old enough and good enough.

In the sample data Zahra Khamis leads the islands in scoring. That is a design figure until your statistician replaces it. The principle is not a figure: the best women’s players are visible on the homepage, not hidden under a ‘see more’.

Equal preparation

  • Same number of camp days as the men in each cycle year
  • A woman on the coaching staff with a real voice, not a chaperone title
  • Travel that does not strand players overnight without a named host
  • Uniforms ordered to women’s sizes, including modest options a player may choose, never a uniform a player is forced into
  • Media days that interview the women’s captain about basketball, not about being an inspiration for existing
  • A girls’ open practice once a camp, so the next U18 sees the senior standard up close
