The Kigali Titans are a Rwandan professional basketball team based in Kigali. The team plays in the Rwanda Basketball League Division 2 (RBL D2), the second-highest national level.
The organisation was founded in 2021 by pharmaceutical businessman Eugene Rubonera Junior after the FERWABA announced to create a national second division for men's teams.[1] Cyril Kalima assumed the function of head coach.
The Titans entered the RBL Division 2 in their debut season, and immediately won the 2021–22 championship that earned the promotion to the top-flight league.[2] The finals of the Division 2 were won 2–0 over Orion BBC. In their second season, the Titans signed international players Will Perry, Francis Azolibe and Álvaro Calvo Masa.[3]
In the 2024 season, the Titans finished in the 10th and last place, and as such they were relegated back to the Division 2.
