History

The club was established in 1972 in Yaoundé.[2] In November 2019, FAP entered the qualifying tournaments for the newly established Basketball Africa League (BAL), representing Cameroon as runners-up because champions Condor BC refused its invitation.[3] After a good first round run, FAP played even better in the second round. After beating ABC in the semi-finals, FAP qualified for the first edition of the BAL.[4]

In 2020, FAP won its first silverware after winning the Elite Messieurs title. It went unbeaten in the Final Four tournament with a 6–0 record.[5] Ahead of the inaugural BAL season in May 2021, FAP signed Lazare Adingono as head coach.[6] In the following season, FAP repeated as champions.

In the 2022 BAL season, FAP finished in fourth place after eliminating the favoured Rwandan hosts REG in the quarter-finals. The third place game was lost to Zamalek.
