FIBA AfroBasket 2025 will be the 31st edition of the FIBA AfroBasket, a men's basketball continental championship of Africa. The tournament will be hosted by Angola for the fourth time.[1]
Tunisia are the two-time defending champion, having won the 2017 and 2021 tournaments.
FIBA Africa decided to announce the host country in March 2024.[2] On 12 March, Angola were reported to be given the hosting rights.[3][4] On 26 March 2024, Angola received the hosting rights, beating fellow bidders Egypt, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia.[5][6] Angola's organizational capacity and infrastructure was one of the driving factors in Angola's selection.[7] This will be Angola's first time hosting since 2007.
Alongside the capital Luanda, venues in Moçâmedes, Lubango, Benguela, Huambo and Huíla are being considered.[8][9]
