Ghana’s representative in the 2026 Basketball Africa League (BAL), Spintex Knights Basketball Club, will commence its journey to compete at the main stage of the continental championship this weekend.
Spintex Knights will compete in the 2026 Road To BAL competition from Friday, October 17 to Sunday, October 19 in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire.
The Accra Basketball League (ABL) Men’s Division Champions have been drawn in Group B of the Division West alongside LPRC Oilers from Liberia, Elan Coton from Benin and Jeunesse Club d’Abidjan from Cote D’Ivoire.
The top two ranked teams in the group after a round robin slate of games progress to the Elite 16 Stage where they take on fellow qualified teams from the Division West Group A.
In the 2025 edition, Spintex Knights made history by being the first Ghanaian team to progress from the divisional competition to the Elite 16 stage.
However, Knights missed out on progressing to the main competition with the likes of Libya’s Al-Ahly Benghazi qualifying. Al-Ahly went on to finish as the overall winners.
Ahead of the tournament, Spintex Knights added Canadian guard of Ghanaian descent Yaw Antwi-Bosiako to its roster. Antwi-Bosiako is a 6 foot 3 inch guard who played at York University.
