FIBA Women Basketball Champions League Africa
The FIBA Africa Women's Champions Cup has celebrated three decades in existence, having been inaugurated during 1985 in Dakar, Senegal.
It remains the most prestigious and high profile competition for women’s clubs on the continent and the place where domestic champions come to test themselves against their peers from other African nations.
The most recent era of the competition has seen a complete domination by clubs based in Angola, with the country providing five of the last six winners and the tournament being last hosted in the capital city, Luanda in 2017.
Five of those titles distributed since 2010 went to powerhouse side InterClube, with their arch rivals Primeiro D’Agosto returning to the top step of the podium at the most recent edition– having last won the coveted silverware in 2006.
Two years ago, it changed its name to FIBA Women Basketball Champions League Africa.
