Caleb Agada Stars as Al Ahli Tripoli Clinch Historic BAL Title and Defense Honors

Posted : 16 June 2025

Nigerian guard Caleb Agada played a pivotal role in Al Ahli Tripoli's historic victory over Petro de Luanda, as the Libyan side claimed their first-ever Basketball Africa League (BAL) championship on Saturday, June 14. Beyond scoring 17 points off the bench in the semifinal, Agada’s defensive excellence also secured him a coveted place on the All-Defensive First Team for the 2025 season.

Al Ahli Tripoli's journey culminated at SunBet Arena, where they completed a landmark 88–67 win over the Angolan powerhouse. Their triumphant campaign featured strong performances throughout the tournament, including a dominant group phase and a hard-fought 84–71 victory in the semifinal over APR—where Agada again made his presence felt with 17 points.

Agada’s offensive and defensive contributions throughout the season did not go unnoticed. The BAL awards panel recognized his impact by naming him among the league’s top five defenders, underlining his versatility and value on both ends of the floor.

Key Moments

  • In the semifinal against APR, Agada’s 17-point off-the-bench explosion helped secure a spot in the final.
  • Al Ahli continued their dominance with a commanding performance in the final, defeating defending champions Petro de Luanda 88–67.

Agada’s all-round impact earned him a well-deserved place on the 2025 All-Defensive First Team, recognizing his elite guard play. This groundbreaking championship marks Al Ahli Tripoli's emergence as a BAL powerhouse, becoming the first Libyan team, and the first club to qualify through the “Road to BAL” system, to win the continental title.

Agada, a standout for Nigeria’s D’Tigers, has solidified his reputation as a player who can change the course of big games. His dual impact highlights the rising influence of Nigerian athletes on Africa’s premier basketball stage.
