The Martin Ngoko National Basketball Center (French: Centre national de basket-ball de Martin Ngokoh; abbreviated as CNBMN[1]) is an indoor arena in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic.
Basketball in the country had been underfunded, however Central African players such as Thierry Darlan and Kurt-Curry Wegscheider did well on the international stage, which led to the decision by FIBA and NBA Africa to fund the re-building of the arena.
[3][1][4] Construction began in August 2023 and included a complete demolition of the previous hall.
[1] The construction is led by Rwanda-based company Kefa Sports Ltd., and will see an improved capacity of 4,500 people.
The arena is named after former national team player Martin Nogko.
