History

Created in 2019, Espoir reached the final of the Ligue Provinciale de Kinshasa for the first time in 2020. However, the team lost to BC Terreur.[1] The following season, the team won their first regional championship. In October 2021, Espoir Fukash won the Congolese Cup, their first national trophy in club history.[2] As such, they qualified for the 2022 BAL Qualifying Tournaments.[3] They won their first international game, on 30 October 2021, over Tondema with 102–49.[4] On December 15, Espoir qualified for the 2022 BAL season after eliminating Mali's AS Police in the semi-finals, winning after overtime.[5] As such, the team becomes the first club from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to play in the BAL.

In the 2022 BAL Nile Conference, Espoir finished in the sixth and last place with a 1–4 record. On April 20, 2022, the team captured its first BAL victory after beating Cape Town Tigers after overtime.[6]
