The club played in the Sahara Conference of the [Basketball Africa League](/source/Basketball_Africa_League) (BAL) in [2022](/source/2022_BAL_season) and [2023](/source/2023_BAL_season), and was a quarter-finalist in both seasons. REG shares a rivalry with [Patriots BBC](/source/Patriots_BBC).

## History

Established in 2016, the club won the [NBL Rwanda](/source/NBL_Rwanda) in 2017. Then, REG played in an African competition for the first time when it entered the [2018–19 Africa Basketball League](/source/2018%E2%80%9319_Africa_Basketball_League).[1]

On 2 November 2019, Henry Mwinuka signed for two years as the new head coach.[2]

On 30 October 2021, REG won its first Rwandan national championship after defeating arch-rivals [Patriots](/source/Patriots_BBC) 2–0 in the finals. [Olivier Shyaka](/source/Olivier_Shyaka) was named the league's Most Valuable Player after scoring 30 points in Game 1 and 22 points in Game 2.[3] As a result of the championship, REG also qualified for the [2022 season](/source/2022_BAL_season) of the [Basketball Africa League](/source/Basketball_Africa_League) (BAL). On February 18, 2022, the team signed ex-[NBA](/source/NBA) player and coach [Robert Pack](/source/Robert_Pack_(basketball)) as its new head coach.[4]

The team won their third national title after once again defeating Patriots in the finals, 3–2, in the 2022 season.[5] Subsequently, REG represented Rwanda in the BAL for the [2023 season](/source/2023_BAL_season) and was once again a quarter-finalist, this time being eliminated by the later to be champions [Al Ahly](/source/Al_Ahly_(basketball)).
