The Ligue 1 is the top tier men's basketball league in Guinea. The defending champion is SLAC, which won its sixth title in 2021. Most games of the league are played in the Palais des Sports next to the Stade du 28 Septembre in Conakry.
History Since 2021, the league has not been organised because of a dispute between the Guinean Basketball Federation (FGBB) and Guinea's Ministry of Sport. In February 2023, President of the FGBB Sakoba Keita announced his plans to professionalize the league by allowing teams to have a corporate status and by introducing a minimum salary for players.
In October 2023, instead of organising a league, the federation organised a qualification tournament to decide the country's representative in the Road to BAL. SLAC won the tournament.
Current teams In the 2021 season, the league featured six teams: SLAC Horoya Athletic Club DRC ASD Asfo Free
