2024 BAL Sahara Conference |
The Nile Conference is one of the three conferences that make up the Basketball Africa League (BAL), the other two being the Sahara Conference and the Kalahari Conference. All conferences currently consist of four teams.
The conference alignment began in the 2022 season, although plans to have conferences were already set up before the inaugural season. Named after the Nile River, the conference has been played at a single venue thus far, the Hassan Moustafa Sports Hall in Cairo, Egypt for the past two seasons.
