FIBA Rankings

FIBA: International Basketball Federation

The abbreviation ‘FIBA’ derives from the French ‘Fédération Internationale de Basketball Amateur’. The Word ‘Amateur’ was dropped in 1986 after the distinction between Amateurs and Professionals was eliminated. The ‘A’ in FIBA was however left. This was for reasons of tradition and also because of the ‘BA’ at the beginning of our sport, BASKETBALL!
