The RBL is back this Friday! 🔥

Kigali is still buzzing after RSSB Tigers became the first Rwandan team to lift the BAL title, but now the focus shifts back to domestic action. With playoff spots on the line, every game matters as teams battle for position in the race.

Last day of BAL Season 6... you just had to be there 🤯🔥🏀
The energy, the atmosphere, the moments. Championship Day did not disappoint.

The BAL4Her Elevate Camp in Kigali brought together top female players from Rwanda and across Africa for a week of training, competition, and personal development led by Coach Cheikh Sarr.

The week concluded with the BAL4Her Elevate Showcase Game at BK Arena ahead of the BAL Semi-Finals.

Last week, during the BAL Playoffs, we gathered local referees and hosted a clinic managed by professional refs ✔️

A great reminder that basketball is not about players, referees are a center piece of the game. Helping them getting better will reflect on the quality of African basketball.
