The Continental Basketball League (CBL), formerly the African Basketball League (ABL), was a men's private professional basketball league in Africa established with the vision of creating opportunities in the sports industry by capturing the rich entertainment culture of Africans to promote sports tourism.
The objectives of the league are to create wealth and employment; develop intra-Africa tourism and integration; and foster internal growth and development. This will be achieved through the development of an ecosystem that will support the creation of viable and valuable basketball franchises.
In May 2016, Abidjan Ramblers defeated Lagos Warriors to become the inaugural winners of the league.
