In 2019, SLAC won its fourth domestic championship after beating BACK in the finals. Qualified as national champion of Guinea, SLAC played in the 2020 BAL Qualifying Tournaments. Before the start of the qualifiers, SLAC attracted Serbian head coach Zeljko Zecevic.
The following year, the team returned to the BAL qualifiers and qualified after beating Mali's AS Police after overtime in the semifinal. As a result, SLAC became the first team from Guinea to play in the BAL. With a 2–3 record in the Sahara Conference behind standout guard Chris Crawford, the team qualified for the playoffs. There, SLAC lost in the quarter-finals to the defending champions Zamalek from Egypt.
In the 2023 BAL season, they had a 1–4 record and thus failed to qualify for the playoffs a second year in a row. SLAC's star player Dane Miller Jr. was named to the All-BAL First Team. In the 2023 offseason, SLAC's accomplished coach Željko Zečević departed the team for AS Salé. The club hired Italian coach Paolo Povia, former head coach of the Ivory Coast national team, as his replacement.
