On 2 November 2019, Henry Mwinuka signed for two years as the new head coach.[2]

On 30 October 2021, REG won its first Rwandan national championship after defeating arch-rivals Patriots 2–0 in the finals. Olivier Shyaka was named the league's Most Valuable Player after scoring 30 points in Game 1 and 22 points in Game 2.[3] As a result of the championship, REG also qualified for the 2022 season of the Basketball Africa League (BAL). On February 18, 2022, the team signed ex-NBA player and coach Robert Pack as its new head coach.[4]

The team won their third national title after once again defeating Patriots in the finals, 3–2, in the 2022 season.[5]
