Al-Ahli Tripoli, Libya’s reigning African basketball champion and recent bronze medalist at the FIBA Intercontinental Cup, is set to begin its campaign in the Arab Club Championship this Thursday with a high-stakes opener against Kuwait Club in Dubai.
The tournament marks a new chapter in Al-Ahli’s international journey, as the team seeks to translate its continental and global success into regional dominance. With momentum on its side, the club aims to capture the Arab title and reinforce its growing reputation across the basketball world.
Al-Ahli’s roster for the championship includes three standout foreign professionals who played a pivotal role in securing the African crown: Ivan Almeida of Cape Verde, Marcus Knight of the United States, and Ismael Romero of Puerto Rico. Their return signals the club’s intent to field a competitive, high-impact lineup capable of challenging the region’s best.
