The tournament was founded in 2024.[1] The competition is open to teams in FIBA Africa Zone 5, similar to the previously organized FIBA Africa Zone 5 Club Championship, which ran for 33 years. The league was established by Zone 5 President Hesham El Hariri, with the aim of providing game for teams that did not qualify for the Road to BAL as national champions.[2]
The inaugural season was held in December 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya, and existed of six teams.[1] Remesha from Burundi were the inaugural champions.[3]
Teams play in a round-robin format, with a total of 15 games. The team that finishes on top of the group is crowned champion.[2]
