In late July 2026 Guédiawaye Basket Academy captured the Senegal National 1 women's basketball championship, defeating the five‑year reigning champion ASC Ville de Dakar and securing the club’s first national title. The victory marked a shift in league dominance and was celebrated alongside a U18 men’s national team win.

A week later, on 7 August 2026, the Senegalese National Assembly formally presented the women’s basketball cup trophy to the Fédération Sénégalaise de Basket‑ball. The ceremony, led by Assembly vice‑president El Malick Ndiaye, underscored parliamentary support for basketball as a tool for youth development, social cohesion, and the promotion of women’s sport.

Together, the championship triumph and the governmental endorsement illustrate growing recognition and institutional backing for women’s basketball in Senegal.
