Revision as of 03:17, 28 October 2024

The qualification for the 2025 BAL season, also known as Road to BAL 2025, is the 5th season of the qualifying tournaments for the Basketball Africa League (BAL). The tournaments are organised by FIBA Africa and will begin on 8 October and will finish in November 2024.

Format changes

The format was changed from the previous four tournaments, as this season only four teams qualified through the Road to BAL, a decrease from the six teams in previous years.[1][2] The national champions from Morocco and South Africa received direct qualification.[2] In the first round, five groups in two divisions were played, with the top teams advancing to the elite 16. In the Elite 16 phase, the teams will be placed in two groups of eight teams each. After a round-robin tournament, the top two teams in each group will advance to the 2025 BAL season.[1]

Teams

The first list of teams was announced by FIBA on 9 October 2024.[3]
