The Al Ahly Ly men's basketball team played the 2023–24 season domestically in the Libyan Division I Basketball League and internationally in the Basketball Africa League (BAL).
Al-Ahly Ly was the first Libyan team to play in the BAL, and reached the final, where they lost to Petro de Luanda. In domestic play, they lost the Division 1 finals to Al Ahli Tripoli.
Overview Following their title in the previous season, Al Ahly became the second Libyan team to play in the Road to BAL. They strengthened their squad with BAL star players such as Ater Majok (former Defensive Player of the Year), Solo Diabate (two-time BAL champion) and Chris Crawford. Al Ahly Ly was coached by the Tunisian coach Aoun Monaem. In November, they won the third place game against FAP of Cameroon, and thus qualified for the BAL as the first team ever from the country.
In March 2024, Al Ahly won the Libyan Supercup.
