History
Since 2021, the league has not been organised because of a dispute between the Guinean Basketball Federation (FGBB) and Guinea's Ministry of Sport. In February 2023, President of the FGBB Sakoba Keita announced his plans to professionalize the league by allowing teams to have a corporate status and by introducing a minimum salary for players.[1]
In October 2023, instead of organising a league, the federation organised a qualification tournament to decide the country's representative in the Road to BAL. SLAC won the tournament.[2]
Current teams
In the 2021 season, the league featured six teams:[3]
- SLAC
- Horoya Athletic Club
- DRC
- ASD
