The Cameroonian Basketball Federation (FECABASKET) has officially launched the 2015-16 women national leagues over the weekend in Bafang, in the western region of the country.
Four months on since the country hosted the AfroBasket Women 2015 in the capital city of Yaounde, both men and women clubs are back in action.
Eight women clubs, including BEAC of Yaoundé, Ecole de Basketball of Douala, Flux Academy, the defending champions Forces Armées de Police (FAP), INJS de Yaoundé, Haut Nkam, Onyx and Volcanic Warriors of Buea, will do battle for the national silverware.
The competition will be played in three different cities - Bafang, Buea and Douala -. They will compete in a round-robin format.
The top four teams will then advance to the Final-Four, scheduled to take place in May in Yaounde.
FAP of Yaounde opened their campaign with a 52-17 win over Haut Nkam of Bafang, but retaining their title could not be easy as they will face tough opponents such as INJS of Yaounde, who have on their roster national team key players Sandrine Ayangma and Siloise Gano who helped Cameroon to a runners-up finish at AfroBasket Women 2015.
On the other hand, INJS enter the 10-team men championship as defending champions a week ago.
The tournament will be played in home and away format - in a single group - and the highest ranked team will be crowned champion.
Condor of Yaounde who clinched the national title two years ago are making their come-back following two years suspension by FECABASKET.
Jean Denis Mbel, the team’s head coach, has rebuilt his group and is eager to fight for the crown.

New Cameroon coach Hugo Broos has made it clear he will not tolerate any interference in his work.
The 63-year-old Belgian was officially unveiled by the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) on Thursday as he signed a two-year contract.
Broos has not managed at national team level before but insisted he is "not afraid" and demands to be respected.
"I will never accept intrusion in my job as a coach. I am the coach and I take the decisions," he said.
"It is the first time I will be training a national team and there is always a beginning but I hope for good results and I am not afraid to take the post.
"I have always been passionate about African football and Cameroon has a rich football history having participated at World Cups and won the Africa Cup of Nations.
"They have good players and this, coupled with the prospect of qualifying for and playing in two big competitions, was a big attraction."
Fecafoot has set Broos two main objectives: to qualify the team for the 2017 Nations Cup and also for the 2018 World Cup.
His first task is to prepare for the Cameroon's 2017 Nations qualifier against South Africa on 26 March.
Broos admitted he will initially rely on Alexandre Belinga, who was the interim coach, for information and to get up to speed.
And he will need to make a fast start to the job in order to win over some skeptical Cameroon fans who are unsure if he is the right man to lead the Indomitable Lions.
Meanwhile, former Cameroon captain Rigobert Song has been appointed coach of Cameroon's national team for locally-based players.
He replaces Martin Ndtoungou Mpile, who took the team to the quarter-finals of the African Nations Championship in February.

Cameroon former skipper, Rigobert Song, has been appointed as the head coach of Cameroon local team, replacing Martin Ndtoungou Mpile.
Rigobert was unveiled as the new coach on Thursday during a press conference which also saw the new coach of the senior team, Hugo Broos, being announced. Ernest Agbor will be his assistant coach while Simon Nlend remains the goalkeepers coach.
The Indomitable Lions made it to the CHAN 2016 quarter-final under their previous coach Martin Ndtoungou Mpile before they were hammered 0-3 by Cote d’Ivoire in extra time.
Song has a huge experience as a player, having represented clubs such as West Ham, Trabzonspor and Liverpool. He also featured at eight Africa Cup of Nations where he still holds the record of 35 consecutive first team games, winning two AFCON titles with the Indomitable Lions in 2000 and 2002

News of Matip’s switch to Anfield was confirmed on Monday afternoon, with the giant centre-back moving to Liverpool at the end of the season.
The 24-year-old is one of the most highly-rated defenders in the Bundesliga, with many hailing Jurgen Klopp‘s decision to bring him to Merseyside as a masterstroke.
While Matip’s summer contract expiration allowed Liverpool to sign the Cameroon international on a free transfer, he is still far from a cheap purchase.
According to German publication Bild, via ESPN, Matip will be paid a 2.527.363.458,89 million FCFA signing-on fee upon arrival, and will earn approximately 4.209.841.086,06 million FCFA a year in wages – just over 84.232.818,13 CFA per week.
