Rwanda Energy Group (REG) basketball club have added small forward Dieudonné Ndizeye to their ranks ahead of the upcoming second edition of the Basketball Africa League (BAL). Although the club has not yet come out to make it official, a reliable source confirmed the development to Times Sport on Saturday, February 12. It is understood that some clubs out of the country were also interested in Ndizeyes services, but he ended up signing for REG. During the BAL qualifiers, the 25-year-old played for South Sudan’s Cobra Sport and helped them make it to the final tournament. He put up some great performances for the team. For example, he contributed 32 points in a 77-67 win over Kenya’s Ulinzi Warriors and a 20-point and 7-rebound performance to help Cobra Sport beat Burundi’s New Star 78-76. Locally, Ndizeye features for Patriots basketball, which did not make it to the BAL this year, as rivals Rwanda Energy Group (REG) beat them to the domestic league title last month. REG will be Rwanda’s representative in BAL 2022 after gaining automatic qualification to the tournament, courtesy of the fact that Rwanda will host a vital part of the tournament – the semis and finals.
