2020–21 GNBC season

The 2020–21 GNBC season was the first season of Malagasy club GNBC. They qualified for the inaugural Basketball Africa League (BAL) season through the Road to BAL qualification rounds, in which they finished as the second-ranked team in the East Division.

In the inaugural BAL season, that was completely hosted in Kigali due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were allocated in Group A. After losing all three games, including a 47-point loss to US Monastir,[1] they were eliminated in the group phase.[2]
