Petro de Luanda, a two-time winner of the FIBA Africa Champions Cup – are the only team in the conference that hasn\u2019t missed out a BAL season since its inception in 2021.<\/p>\n

The Angolan champions finished third in 2021 before claiming second place last year after losing to US Monastir in the final.<\/p>\n

Among the six head coaches in the current Nile Conference, Al Ahly\u2019s Agusti Julbe is the only BAL champion.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard led Zamalek to the BAL title thanks to a 6-0 mark in 2021, a success that makes him the only coach without defeat in the history of the BAL.<\/p>\n
