We Are Thunder

We made history in 2024 – and again in 2025 – by being the first Kenyan team to qualify for the Basketball Africa League (BAL). We also remained undefeated in two straight seasons in the Kenyan Basketball League (2023-2024 & 2024-2025).

We are more than a winning basketball brand – we are on a mission to transform the landscape of the sport on the continent. We’re dedicated to the growth of basketball in Kenya, East Africa and beyond.

Fueled by our intense passion for the game, our commitment extends beyond the court. We are actively amplifying the individual, social, and economic impact of youth sports.
