History

The sports club was founded in 2014 by Biardit Company Limited.[1] The basketball team was established in 2017.[2]

In 2020, Cobra played in its first continental games when it participated in the qualifiers for the 2020 BAL season.[3][4] Cobra played in Group F in Antananarivo and ended in third place, missing out on advancing to the next round.[5] However, the club advanced with a wild card before losing all next three games in the Elite 16 stage.

On 20 September 2021, Cobra signed John Jevish Omondi from Kenya as their new head coach.[2] The team played in the 2022 BAL qualification for a second straight season. In the first round, the team lost both its games but managed to advance with a wild card given by FIBA. Ahead of the second round, the team acquired Kenyan international Tom Wamukota and Rwandan international Dieudonné Ndizeye. With its strengthened roster, Cobra managed to advance to the semi-finals after defeating Ulinzi Warriors in the second round. On December 10, 2021, Cobra defeated New Star and claimed a spot in the regular season of the 2022 BAL season.[6] The team became the first-ever team from South Sudan to qualify for the BAL.
