United Generation Basketball, also known as UGB, is a Rwandan semi-professional basketball team based in Kigali.[1] The team plays in the Rwanda Basketball League (RBL), the top division in the country since 1998.

The team is co-owned by singer Bruce Melodie, who invested in the team in early 2024.[2] Every year, UGB hosts a exhibition tournament named the Legacy Tournament in honour of club founders Championat Aimable and Jean De Dieu Nizeyimana.[3] Among the team's most famous players are Jean Jacques Boissy and Guibert Nijimbere.[4][5]
