{{Short description|Lowest-ranked tier of the biennial FIBA EuroBasket competition}}
The '''FIBA European Championship for Small Countries''' is the lowest-ranked tier of the biennial [[FIBA EuroBasket]] competition, organized by [[FIBA Europe]].

== History ==
This championship was first introduced in 1988, as the '''Promotion Cup''', the competition organized for the lowest ranked European national basketball teams. Since then, the competition has been held biannually. In 2007, the Promotion Cup was officially renamed '''EuroBasket Division C'''. 
In 2011, after the divisional system for the FIBA EuroBasket was abolished, the FIBA EuroBasket Division C was renamed to FIBA European Championship for Small Countries.<ref>[http://www.fibaeurope.com/cid_np,7Sp1QH6gBs9R33dW8-3.coid_6M-mAFgvGU-j3ffYj2b,P1.articleMode_on.html Small Countries commission in San Marino] FIBA Europe.
