The qualification for the 2025 BAL season, also known as "Road to BAL 2025", were the qualifying tournaments for the 5th season of the Basketball Africa League (BAL). The tournaments were organised by FIBA Africa and began on 8 October and finished on 4 December 2024.[1]
A total of 26 teams played in this season's qualifying system, The format was slightly altered, as this season only five teams qualified from the qualifying system, opposed to four in all previous years.
Format changes
The format was changed from the previous four tournaments, as this season only four teams qualified through the Road to BAL, a decrease from the six teams in previous years.[2][3] The national champions from Morocco and South Africa received direct qualification.[3] In the first round, five groups in two divisions were played, with the top teams advancing to the elite 16. In the Elite 16 phase, the teams will be placed in two groups of eight teams each. After a round-robin tournament, the top two teams in each group will advance to the 2025 BAL season.[2]
Teams
The first list of teams was announced by FIBA on 9 October 2024.[4]
