After a perfect start to their 2025 Women Basketball League Africa (WBLA) campaign, Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) will be looking to secure their place in the last eight today when they take on Nigeria’s FirstBank at the Al Ahly Sporting Club Arena in Cairo, Egypt.  

The dockers will, however, have to be at their best when they battle it out with the two-time champions, who return to the continental stage hungrier for glory after six years in the cold. KPA launched their campaign with a promising 83-64 win against Cameroon’s Forces Armées et Police (FAP) in their opening Group A match.
