The Morocco national basketball team represents Morocco in international basketball competitions. The team is governed by the Moroccan Royal Basketball Federation, also known as the FRMBB. The team has appeared at the FIBA AfroBasket 20 times and has won the gold medal in the 1965 tournament. In 1968, Morocco finished as runners-up.
The team made the Olympics once, in 1968, but went 0-9 in those games, holding the ignominous distinction of playing the most Olympic basketball games without winning any.
On the first edition of AfroCan, Morocco was placed 4th after losing the bronze medal to Angola.[1]
On 16 July 2023, Morocco won the 2023 FIBA AfroCan Final after beating Cote d'Ivoire 78-76 that took place in Luanda, Angola.[2] [3] King Mohammed VI congratulated the team for their achievement on claiming the second continental title for the national team.[4] [5]
