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.[1]
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.[2]
The inaugural edition was held in 2019 in Bamako, Mali between 19 and 28 July, with DR Congo winning the first edition title after beating Kenya 81–62 in the final.[3][4]
The second edition was held in 2023 in Luanda, Angola between 8 and 16 July. Morocco won their first title after beating Ivory Coast 78–76 in the final.[5][6]
