KBA Premier League
Namibian basketball league
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Khomas Basketball Association (KBA) Premier League is a basketball league for men's teams in the Khomas Region in Namibia. It is the country's only competitive basketball league and is thus seen as the national top level.[1] The league is organised by the Khomas Basketball Association (KBA), which is located in Windhoek. Because of its high level of competition, teams from other regions have also played in the league, and the Namibian Basketball Federation (NBF) has given the association a mandate to host a national tournament and form a national team.[2]
