Introduction

Casa do Pessoal do Porto do Lobito is a multisports club from Lobito, Angola. It's men's basketball team competes at the Angolan Basketball league aka BIC Basket, as well as other local competitions organized by the Angolan Basketball Federation. Other proeminent sports in the club are handball and roller hockey. The club is named after its major sponsor, Porto do Lobito (Lobito harbour) and its full name literally translates as Lobito Harbour Staff Club.

In the early 2000s, CPPL was a regular participant of the Angolan Basketball League. Financial shortages caused the senior basketball department to be suspended, only to be revamped in the early 2010s.

2014

After an unsuccessful attempt to access the 2013–14 BAI Basket, (finished 3rd in the 2013 Angola Second Division Basketball Championship) CPPL was the runner-up at the 2014 tournament, thus gaining access to the 2015 BIC Basket.[1]

In November 2014, shortly before the beginning of the league, the club announced that it would not participate in the championship citing financial reasons.
