History

[edit]

Established in 2000,[2] the Warriors won their first-ever national championship in 2020, after defeating Mahebourg Flippers in the finals.[3] As a result, the Warriors qualified for the 2022 qualifying tournaments of the Basketball Africa League (BAL) for the first time.[4] This marked the first international appearance of the Warriors.[2] They lost all of their three games.

The Warriors won their second championship in the 2022–23 season.[5] They were eligible to play in the 2024 BAL qualification, but withdrew their participation.[6]
