The 2021–22 Cobra Sport season was a season of Cobra Sport, a South Sudanese basketball club. They successfully qualified for the 2022 BAL season, as the first team from South Sudan to do so.

In the 2021 BAL qualification, Cobra was led by head coach John Omondi and progressed through the first round with a wild card, despite not winning any games.[1][2] In the Elite 16, following a win over the Ulinzi Warriors, they advanced to the semifinals. There, on 10 December 2021, Cobra defeated New Star from Burundi, to qualify for their first-ever BAL season.[3]

The team was coached by Manny Berberi and played in the Nile Conference,[4] where they finished in the fifth place with a 1–4 record. Cobra player Mayan Kiir led the league in rebounds per game, and also set a then-record of most rebounds in a game.
