Abass Fall, the head coach of Senegalese club ASC Ville de Dakar, has expressed optimism for his team's upcoming campaign in the 2026 Basketball Africa League (BAL) season. The team is preparing to compete in the Sahara Conference, which is scheduled to tip off in April 2026.
The BAL, a partnership between the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) and the NBA, is the premier men's basketball league in Africa. The 2026 season will mark the sixth edition of the competition, which features 12 clubs from across the continent.
ASC Ville de Dakar, the 2023 Senegalese champion, is making its second appearance in the BAL after debuting in the 2024 season. Coach Fall's comments reflect a focus on strong preparation and team cohesion as they aim to improve upon their previous performance in the prestigious league.
The exact schedule and full list of qualified teams for the 2026 BAL season are still being finalized by the league organizers. Further details are expected to be announced in the coming months.
