Fyllingen Lions is a professional basketball club based in Fyllingen, Norway, with deep roots in the heart of Fyllingsdalen. Established in 1997, the Lions represent Bergen, Norway's second-largest city, and have become a symbol of basketball excellence in the region.

From humble beginnings as a recruitment club, Fyllingen Lions have grown into a powerhouse of Norwegian basketball. The team captured its first Norwegian BLNO Championship in 2024, capping an extraordinary 27-3 regular-season record with a flawless 3-0 sweep in the finals against Baerum Basket. This milestone not only solidified their dominance on home soil but also marked their entry into the European North Basketball League (ENBL) for the 2024–25 season, making them the first Norwegian team to compete at this prestigious international level.

Led by Head Coach, Calix Black N`Diaye since 2019, the Lions embody a relentless commitment to excellence on and off the court. In 2024, the team went through revitalization including a new logo and branding, setting the tone for a new chapter by the visionary leadership of the club and the support of key sponsors like Louise Mohn and Gunnar Gran, enabling the team to professionalize its operations..

Beyond their accolades, Fyllingen Lions are deeply devoted to their community. They work closely with Fyllingen's youth programs, local after school programs, the collaborative initiative Basketakademiet, and other opportunities to inspire and train the next generation of players in Fyllingsdalen. 

As Norway’s basketball pioneers, the Fyllingen Lions aim to elevate the sport’s profile within the nation and beyond. Their journey into the ENBL marks a bold leap forward, not only for the club but also for Norwegian basketball’s place on the international stage.
