Kepler Basketball Club is a Rwandan semi-professional basketball team based in Kigali that is managed by the non-profit educational institution Kepler. Their men's team plays in the Rwanda Basketball League (RBL) since the 2024 season.
The 1,000-student large non-profit education institution Kepler started its basketball program in 2023, mixing the team with both students and professional players.[1] Nathalie Munyampenda was appointed as the club's CEO. In their debut season under Rene Sabahu[2] in the men's Rwanda Basketball League Division 2, they were promoted following a second place finish in the 2023 season.
They acquired all-time legendary player Aristide Mugabe for their inaugural RBL season,[3] and also signed the succesfull Ugandan coach Mandy Juruni, who came over from BAL club City Oilers.[4] Kepler then went on to sign Guibert Nijimbere, a Burundi national team guard, for the upcoming season as well.[5] Their first league win came on February 18, when they defeated the Kigali Titans at home.[6]
The team plays at an outdoor court at the college but is planning to construct a 1,500-seater indoor hall by 2024.
