Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwandan Energy Group (REG), on Tuesday embarked on intensive preparation for the regular season of the Basketball Africa League (BAL) 2023 due from March 11-21 at Dakar Arena in Senegal.<\/p>\n

REG were drawn in the Sahara Conference group phase alongside defending champions US-Monastir of Tunisia, Kwara Falcons (Nigeria), Abidjan Basket Club (Co\u0302te d’Ivoire) AS Douanes (Senegal) and Stade Malien (Mali).<\/p>\n

Times Sports understands that the local powerhouse has began intensive training until February 25, which will be followed by a residential camp training before departing for Dakar, in March, just few days before the tip off.<\/p>\n

Last season, Rwanda Energy Group (REG) clinched the 2022 Basketball Africa League (BAL) Sahara conference title after beating Ferroviario da Beira 94-89, which saw the team advance to the playoffs.<\/p>\n

The team, however, suffered a shock elimination from the quarter-finals at the hands of Forces Arme\u0301es et Police (FAP) Basketball, a Cameroonian side that had finished fourth in the Nile Conference.<\/p>\n

Players in training so far:<\/p>\n

Pascal Niyonkuru, Prince Muhizi, Beleck Bell Engelbert, Pitchou Manga, Ntore Habimana, Adonis Filer, Dieudonne Ndizeye, Olivier Shyaka and Jean de Dieu Umuhoza.<\/p>\n
