Spintex Knights Basketball Club has made history by becoming the first team from Ghana to qualify for the Elite 16 stage of the Basketball Africa League (BAL), a tournament organized in partnership with the NBA and FIBA. Despite challenges in the preliminary round held in Libya, the Greater Accra Basketball League champions secured their spot with a key victory over Elan Coton Benin.

Although they lost to Liberia’s Mighty Barolle and Ivory Coast’s ABC Fighters, their overall performance ensured qualification. The team now looks ahead to the Elite 16 round, scheduled for November 5-10 in Côte d’Ivoire, as they aim to make further strides in the tournament.
