The club is officially the Port of Lobito (in Portuguese: Porto do Lobito) and its full name literally translates as "Lobito Harbour Staff Club".

History

The CPPL organisation was founded in 1952 by a group of employees of the Port of Lobito with the goal of providing rest and recreation for the port workers. [1]

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.[ citation needed ]

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. [2]

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

In the 2021–22 season, CPPL returned to the premier Angolan League after a 5-year absence since 2016. [3]
