==Tournament Overview==
Widely considered among the most coveted sporting competitions in Africa, AfroBasket 2009 was hosted by [[Libya]] from  August 5 to August 15, 2009.<ref>AfroBasket. [http://www.fiba-afrique.org/en/lect_actu.php?titre=evene&id=4314 Libya: The organization contract will be signed today in Tripoli] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090813235059/http://www.fiba-afrique.org/en/lect_actu.php?titre=evene&id=4314 |date=August 13, 2009 }}.

February 2, 2009</ref> Games were played in Tripoli and Benghazi, with four groups being equally divided between the country’s two largest cities.

It is estimated that over 70 media channels covered the engagements, with the top three positioned squads automatically qualifying to represent the continent for the [[2010 FIBA World Championship|2010 World Championship]], to be held from August 28 to September 12, in [[Turkey]]. This historic event also coincides with ongoing celebratory activities marking the 40th anniversary of Libya's 1 September Revolution (Great Al-Fatih Revolution) which brought [[Muammar Gaddafi]] to power, and the  tenth anniversary of the [[Sirte Declaration]] establishing the [[African Union]] (AU) on September 9, 1999.<ref>[http://www.afriquejet.com/news/africa-news/libya:-kadhafi-receives-african-basketball-association-president-200805103470.html ''Kadhafi receives African Basketball Association president''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319062316/http://www.afriquejet.com/news/africa-news/libya:-kadhafi-receives-african-basketball-association-president-200805103470.html |date=2012-03-19 }}.

==Host Selection Process==
Libya's selection as the host country was decided by the [[Fédération Internationale de Basketball]] ([[FIBA]]) Executive Committee, approved by the Central Board of [[FIBA Africa]], and officially announced in [[Tripoli, Libya|Tripoli]] on February 7, 2009. The decision favoring Libya to organize the 25th edition, followed the withdrawal of [[Nigeria]] who failed to conform to FIBA Africa guidelines. Signing of the official contract was conducted at a ceremony at Tripoli’s [[Corinthia Hotels International|Corinthia Bab Africa Hotel]] on February 4, 2009, in the presence of Libya’s [[National Olympic Committee]] president Mohammad Al-Amariy, Dr. [[Muhammad Gaddafi]], and president of the [[Libyan Arab Basketball Federation]] (LBF), Omar El Barshushi.

Before reaching the contract signing stage, and after Nigeria’s withdrawal, an organizing committee was formed by FIBA to investigate the facilities Libya had to offer regarding basketball courts and the possibility of refurbishing sites. At the 4th Session of FIBA-Africa Central Committee meeting in [[Cairo, Egypt]] on January 25, 2009, the Libyan organizing committee presented plans and the preparation undertaken in order to successfully host the championships. The Central Board members who also made their recommendations approved the LBF presentation, which has been an FIBA Africa affiliate since 1961, and were described as excellent. The president of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) invited FIBA Africa’s officials in Tripoli to view first hand Libya’s preparations. To this end, before signing the contract between FIBA Africa and LBF, the Secretary General of FIBA Africa, Dr. Alphonse Bilé, the Assistant Secretary General, Adel Tooma and the President of the Commission for Competitions, Raouf Menjour, checked thoroughly the facilities and basketball courts that will serve the event and gave their approval.<ref>[http://www.tripolipost.com/articledetail.asp?c=3&i=2816 Libya to Host 2009 FIBA Africa Championship], ''The Tripoli Post''.

==Venues==
Two Libyan cities, [[Benghazi]] and [[Tripoli, Libya|Tripoli]] hosted games in the tournament.  [[Benghazi]] hosted games in Groups A, B, and E.  [[Tripoli, Libya|Tripoli]] hosted games in Groups C, D, and F, in addition to the knockout round games.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tripolipost.com/articledetail.asp?c=3&i=3439&archive=1|title=Teams Get Set for Opening of Libya 2009 AfroBasket, Wednesday|website=www.tripolipost.com|access-date=2017-07-13}}</ref>

Games in [[Tripoli, Libya|Tripoli]] were held in the [[African Union Arena]], a modern, 7,000 seat arena built in the capital city in 2006.<ref name="World Stadiums: Libya">[http://www.worldstadiums.com/africa/countries/libya.shtml World Stadiums: Libya]</ref>  Games in [[Benghazi]] were held in the [[Suliman Ad-Dharrath Arena]], part of the Medina al-Riyadhia (Sports City), the city's largest sporting centre. The 10,000 seat arena was built in 1967 and is therefore quite outdated. However, the stadia has undergone maintenance work in recent years.<ref name="World Stadiums: Libya"/>

==Squads==
{{main|2009 FIBA Africa Championship squads}}

Each of the sixteen teams competing was eligible to field a squad of twelve players for the tournament.  Only [[Cape Verde national basketball team|Cape Verde]] and host [[Libya national basketball team|Libya]] did not take advantage of this limit, as both teams sent an 11-man squad to the competition.<ref>[http://libya2009.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/09/fafcm/team/p/rid//sid/6599/tid/2603/profile.html Cape Verde national team profile] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090804085734/http://www.libya2009.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/09/fafcm/team/p/rid/sid/6599/tid/2603/profile.html |date=2009-08-04 }} at FIBA.com</ref><ref>[http://libya2009.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/09/fafcm/team/p/rid//sid/6599/tid/319/profile.html Libya national team profile] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090904070344/http://libya2009.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/09/fafcm/team/p/rid/sid/6599/tid/319/profile.html |date=2009-09-04 }} at FIBA.com</ref>

====Group A====
Group A went according to form, as African powerhouse [[Nigeria national basketball team|Nigeria]] was rarely challenged in the group en route to going undefeated.  [[Côte d'Ivoire national basketball team|Côte d'Ivoire]] grabbed the second eighth final spot out of Group A by winning its last two group games after losing its tournament opener to the Nigerians.  Host [[Libya national basketball team|Libya]], making its first tournament appearance since [[FIBA Africa Championship 1978|1978]], won its tournament opener over [[South Africa national basketball team|South Africa]].  This was enough to qualify for the eighth final round as last place South Africa lost its last two games by a combined 85 points.

====Group B====

====Group D====
Group D was the most tightly contested preliminary round group.  These games resulted in the most surprising result of this stage of the tournament as defending bronze medalists [[Cape Verde national basketball team|Cape Verde]] were eliminated even after their opening victory over [[Tunisia national basketball team|Tunisia]] in spite of the efforts of [[Jeff Xavier]], who would finish as the tournament's leading scorer.  Group D also saw one of the best games of the tournament, as [[Morocco national basketball team|Morocco]]'s [[Mohamad Hachad]] single-handedly shocked [[Rwanda national basketball team|Rwanda]] when he hit a three-pointer with 29 seconds left, then stole the ball and passed to [[Yunss Akinocho]] for a jumper to erase a four-point lead in an 85–84 victory.  [[Tunisia national basketball team|Tunisia]] and [[Morocco national basketball team|Morocco]] both advanced with victories on the final day of group play after no team had clinched a spot in the eighth final coming into the final games.  [[Rwanda national basketball team|Rwanda]] also advanced by virtue of its ten-point victory over [[Cape Verde national basketball team|Cape Verde]].

===Eighth Final round===
====Group E====
Group E went according to form as defending champion [[Angola national basketball team|Angola]] continued its undefeated run in the tournament by dismantling [[Libya national basketball team|Libya]] and [[Côte d'Ivoire national basketball team|Côte d'Ivoire]] in its first two games.  [[Nigeria national basketball team|Nigeria]] followed suit, albeit in less than dominating fashion, by slipping by [[Egypt national basketball team|Egypt]] and [[Mali national basketball team|Mali]] to set up a showdown in the final group play match with Angola.  [[Nigeria national basketball team|Nigeria]] hung with the defending champions in a hard-fought game that was close the whole way, but the Nigerians could not close the deficit below two in the fourth quarter en route to a 93–85 loss.

[[Mali national basketball team|Mali]] coasted to two easy victories over [[Côte d'Ivoire national basketball team|Côte d'Ivoire]] and [[Libya national basketball team|Libya]] to finish third in the group.  [[Côte d'Ivoire national basketball team|Côte d'Ivoire]] pulled away from [[Egypt national basketball team|Egypt]] in the fourth quarter to grab the final quarterfinal spot of the group.  [[Egypt national basketball team|Egypt]] lost all three games, including a humiliating 75–73 loss to [[Libya national basketball team|Libya]] on [[Raed Elhamali]]'s buzzer beater.  This was the first time in 19 appearances at the [[FIBA Africa Championship]] that the Egyptians failed to qualify for the semifinals.

====Group F====
Unlike Group E, Group F was filled with back-and-forth matches between all six teams.  Day 1 of the group saw plenty of action.  [[Rwanda national basketball team|Rwanda]], making only its second tournament appearance, stunned 24-time participant [[Senegal national basketball team|Senegal]], which had been undefeated in group play.  [[Tunisia national basketball team|Tunisia]] followed that up with a one-point victory over [[Central African Republic]] on [[Amine Rzig]]'s jumper with four seconds left.

On Day 2, [[Central African Republic national basketball team|Central African Republic]] returned to form with a dominating 21-point victory over [[Rwanda national basketball team|Rwanda]].  [[Senegal national basketball team|Senegal]] was upset yet again when [[Mouhammad Faye]] missed two free throws with three seconds left in a 75–73 loss to [[Morocco national basketball team|Morocco]].  [[Tunisia national basketball team|Tunisia]] again won in dramatic fashion with a 68–66 victory over [[Cameroon men's national basketball team|Cameroon]] when [[Parfait Bitee]] missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Heading into Day 3, only [[Tunisia national basketball team|Tunisia]] had clinched a quarterfinal spot.  [[Senegal national basketball team|Senegal]] rebounded from two consecutive losses to beat [[Tunisia national basketball team|Tunisia]] and steal first place in the group from the Tunisians.  Despite losing to [[Rwanda national basketball team|Rwanda]], [[Cameroon men's national basketball team|Cameroon]] finished third in the group. [[Central African Republic national basketball team|Central African Republic]] beat [[Morocco national basketball team|Morocco]] to claim the final quarterfinal spot.

====Quarterfinals====
In the first game of the quarterfinals, [[Angola national basketball team|Angola]] closed the third quarter on a 23–6 run en route to an 84–63 victory after [[Central African Republic national basketball team|Central African Republic]] had tied the game at 43 early in the second half.  The Angolans qualified for the semifinals for the 14th consecutive Afrobasket tournament.  [[Tunisia national basketball team|Tunisia]] won a thriller over [[Mali national basketball team|Mali]] 74-73 when Mali star [[Amara Sy]] missed the second of two free throws with one second on the clock.  In the third quarterfinal, [[Cameroon men's national basketball team|Cameroon]] never trailed in the second half to stun [[Nigeria national basketball team|Nigeria]], whose only previous loss had come at the hands of [[Angola national basketball team|Angola]].  Group E fourth-place finisher [[Côte d'Ivoire national basketball team|Côte d'Ivoire]] followed the previous game with a shocker of their own in beating Group F first place [[Senegal national basketball team|Senegal]].  The Ivorians dominated the beginning and end of the game after the team jumped out to a 16–2 first half lead and closed the game on a 16–6 run en route to a six-point victory.

====Semifinals====
In the semifinals, [[Tunisia national basketball team|Tunisia]] hung with the powerhouse [[Angola national basketball team|Angola]]ns for much of the game.  The Tunisians never trailed by more than eleven in the fourth quarter but could not cut the deficit lower than five en route to a ten-point loss.  In a match-up between the two teams that pulled quarterfinal upsets, [[Côte d'Ivoire national basketball team|Côte d'Ivoire]] continued its [[Cinderella (sports)|Cinderella]] run with a victory over [[Cameroon men's national basketball team|Cameroon]].  The Ivorians closed the game on an 8–0 run in the final two minutes to turn a 61–60 deficit into a 68–61 victory to qualify for the team's first [[FIBA Africa Championship]] final since 1985.

===Classification round===
====5th-8th places====
In the consolation bracket for quarterfinal losers, [[Central African Republic national basketball team|Central African Republic]] continued its strong run in the tournament following an 0–2 start in beating [[Mali national basketball team|Mali]] 80-74.  In a match-up that most expected would take place in the semifinals, [[Nigeria national basketball team|Nigeria]] regained its preliminary round form in dismantling [[Senegal national basketball team|Senegal]] in the second game.

[[Nigeria national basketball team|Nigeria]] grabbed fifth place over the Central Africans in an uneventful game. [[Senegal national basketball team|Senegal]] defeated [[Mali national basketball team|Mali]] in the seventh place game to end a disappointing tournament with a 5–4 record after starting the tournament 3–0.
