Dylan Schommer, a promising young player who currently plays for Union Neuchâtel in Switzerland, is also a proud member of Rwanda’s national basketball team. Despite his talent, he has struggled for adequate playing time on the international stage.
With Schommer joining APR BBC, the team hopes to tackle the challenges posed by recent injuries to key players, Shema Osborn and Nobel Boungou-Colo. Both have been pivotal to the team’s structure, and basketball enthusiasts eagerly anticipate seeing if Schommer can effectively fill their roles.
The road ahead won’t be easy, as APR BBC faces top-tier teams such as Al-Ahli Tripoli from Libya, MBB from South Africa, and Nairobi City Thunder from Kenya. These crucial matches will take place at BK Arena in Kigali from May 17 to May 25, 2025, with only the top two teams earning spots in the prestigious BAL Play-offs.
In the previous season, APR BBC fell short, failing to make it to the final rounds held in Kigali. Despite the setback, the team’s management has renewed its dedication to restoring the club’s reputation, setting its sights on deep progress in this year's qualifiers.
The BAL 2024 season crowned Petro de Luanda from Angola as champions, marking them as the first Sub-Saharan African team to win this elite basketball tournament on the continent. The accomplishment has set a high bar for competitors in the upcoming season.
APR BBC has officially announced the arrival of Dylan Schommer, who also represents Rwanda’s national team, hoping his addition will bring fresh strength and determination to the squad.
