FAP Basketball

The club was established in 1972 in Yaoundé.^[2] In November 2019, FAP entered the qualifying tournaments for the newly established Basketball Africa League (BAL), representing Cameroon as runners-up because champions Condor BC refused its invitation.^[3] After a good first round run, FAP played even better in the second round. After beating ABC in the semi-finals, FAP qualified for the first edition of the BAL.^[4]

In 2020, FAP won its first silverware after winning the Elite Messieurs title. It went unbeaten in the Final Four tournament with a 6–0 record.^[5] Ahead of the inaugural BAL season in May 2021, FAP signed Lazare Adingono as head coach.^[6] In the following season, FAP repeated as champions.

In the 2022 BAL season, FAP finished in fourth place after eliminating the favoured Rwandan hosts REG in the quarter-finals. The third place game was lost to Zamalek.

The Yaoundé Multipurpose Sports Complex, built in 2009, is the home arena of FAP Basketball. Most basketball games of the Elite Messieurs final stages are played in the complex.
