Nairobi City Thunder is revolutionizing Kenyan basketball through professionalization and talent development. The club recently qualified for its second consecutive Basketball Africa League (BAL) season, winning the Road to BAL Elite 16 East Division and retaining their league title undefeated.

• Thunder aims to transform the entire Kenyan basketball ecosystem, not just its own success, by including other players in development efforts.
• The team's core is built around Kenyan players like Tylor Ongwae, Albert Odero, Eugine Adera, Derrick Ogechi, Faheem Juma, and Ariel Okal, benefiting the men’s national team, Kenya Morans.
• Thunder aspires to become one of the 12 permanent BAL franchises when the league transitions to a franchise system, with Nairobi being a projected host city.
• To achieve franchise status, Thunder must build a modern arena with a capacity of 5,000 to 7,500 seats, as the current Kasarani Indoor Arena does not meet BAL play-off standards.
