The '''AfroBasket''' (alternatively known as the '''[[FIBA Africa]] Championship''', '''FIBA African Championship''', or '''FIBA AfroBasket''') is the men's [[basketball]] continental championship contested by the senior national teams of [[Africa]], played once every four years.

Through the 2015 edition, the tournament took place every two years and also served as a qualifying tournament for the [[FIBA Basketball World Cup|FIBA World Cup]] and the [[Basketball at the Summer Olympics|Summer Olympic Games]]. However, since 2017, the AfroBasket along with all other men's [[FIBA]] continental championships are no longer a part of the qualifying process for the World Cup or the Olympics.

==Qualification==
Sixteen African teams qualify for the finals tournament. Before the [[AfroBasket 2021|2021 edition]], the qualification format for teams was via the different FIBA Africa subzones from Zone 1 to Zone 7. Each subzone conducted a qualification tournament a year before the championship to determine the qualifying teams. Six subzones received two berths each, while Zone 1 only received one. The host and the champion from the preceding AfroBasket also got a berth each, while two or three teams were selected as wild cards. However, beginning with the 2021 tournament, FIBA changed the qualification format where wild cards are no longer given and the preceding champion is no longer guaranteed an automatic berth. All teams now have to enter the qualification process. While teams who fail to qualify for the prior AfroBasket will go through pre-qualifiers for the opportunity to reach the next AfroBasket competition.
