Espoir Basket Club
Espoir Basket Club (in English: Hope Basketball Club), also known as Espoir BC, is a Gabonese semi-professional basketball team based in Libreville. The team has won the Gabonese Cup in 2023. They play in the Estuaire Province's Ligue de Basket-ball de l’Estuaire (Libabe), and won the province championship in 2022 after defeating former champions Clutch Time in the final, 73–37. As runners-up of the 2022 Gabonese Cup and replacement of champions Clutch Time, Espoir earned the right to play in the 2023 BAL qualification. In September 2022, Espoir recruited Stéphane Lasme, widely considered the best Gabonese player ever, as a reinforcement. Michaël Oganda Igoue is the team's current head coach. Honours
