The AfroCan (alternatively known as the FIBA AfroCan) is a men's basketball continental competition in Africa, which is played quadannually under the auspices of FIBA (International Basketball Federation), basketball's international governing body, and the FIBA African zone thereof. Unlike the AfroBasket, AfroCan is only opened to all players who play for basketball clubs based in Africa.
History
In 2017, a new calendar by FIBA changed the AfroBasket from a biennial to quadrennial tournament. As a consequence, the AfroCan was created to vill up the void.
The first ever AfroCan was held in 2019 in Mali, with DR Congo winning the inaugural title after beating Kenya in the final.
The second AfroCan was held in 2023 in Angola, with Morocco winning their first title after beating Ivory Coast in the final.
The tournament features intense and high-level basketball action, with teams showcasing their skills, teamwork, and determination on the court. The participating nations send their best players, creating a highly competitive atmosphere and ensuring thrilling matches throughout the tournament.
FIBA AfroCan serves as a platform for African basketball players to showcase their abilities and gain international recognition. It provides an opportunity for talented athletes to shine and potentially catch the attention of scouts and professional teams from around the world.
The tournament not only celebrates the sport of basketball but also promotes unity and cultural exchange among African nations. It brings together diverse cultures, traditions, and languages, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere both on and off the court.
FIBA AfroCan is not only a basketball tournament but also a celebration of African heritage and pride. The event features various cultural activities, music, and entertainment, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the rich African culture while enjoying the thrilling basketball action.
With its electrifying atmosphere, fierce competition, and celebration of African culture, the FIBA AfroCan basketball tournament has become a highly anticipated event for basketball enthusiasts and fans across the globe.
