Equity Bank suffered a significant loss against APR in the Basketball League Africa qualifiers, with the match ending in a 91-56 scoreline. The game took place in Kibaha, Tanzania, on October 18, 2026.

The defeat marked another setback for Kenya’s team in their encounters with Rwandese opponents within the Women’s Basketball League Africa (WBLA) Zone V qualifiers. The result continued a pattern of challenges faced by Equity Bank against teams from Rwanda.

In a separate development, Eva Ngigi-Sarwari, the head of payments at Equity Bank, passed away in China following a Liftoff event for the KPA. This event occurred after a hard-fought win over Burundian opponents.
