Two star players from the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters, Will “Bull” Bullard and Cherelle “Torch” George, will be in Fiji this week as part of a Sports Diplomacy tour.
Made possible by the U.S. Embassy in Suva, in partnership with Basketball Fiji, the duo will visit schools and meet with basketball fans, starting with a special public event from 5 pm to 7 pm at Yat Sen School this Friday. This event is open to all, free of charge.
The Harlem Globetrotters, an American exhibition basketball team, have entertained millions worldwide with their unique blend of athleticism, comedy, and theater. Founded in 1926, the team has become an iconic symbol of basketball excellence and showmanship, known for their creative ball-handling skills, trick shots, and engaging audience participation. Over the decades, the Globetrotters have played more than 26,000 exhibition games in 124 countries and territories, often serving as ambassadors of goodwill.
This tour is part of the U.S. Department of State’s Sports Diplomacy program, which uses the universal appeal of sports to bring people, cultures, and countries closer together.
Following their visit to Fiji, the stars will continue their tour in Nauru
