LightDarkThe Côte d'Ivoire national basketball team are the men's basketball side that represent Côte d'Ivoire in international competition. The team competes regularly in the African Championship.
Côte d'Ivoire reached the championship of the African Championship for the first time in 1978, but they were defeated by Senegal in the final. They reached the championship again in the following tournament, in 1980, but again had to settle for silver as Senegal took the gold. Another run the following year, in 1981, saw Côte d'Ivoire finally break through and win their first championship as they defeated Egypt for the championship. Four years later Côte d'Ivoire won their second championship as they hosted the tournament in 1985 and beat Angola to win the championship. Côte d'Ivoire finished second at the 2009 FIBA Africa Championship for their first podium finish since their victory in 1985. They participated in the 2010 FIBA World Championship, their first World Championship appearance since 1986. The team went 1–4 at the tournament, finishing last in Group C. In their final group game, the Ivorians defeated traditional powerhouse Puerto Rico for their first ever World Championship win, but came up just short in the tiebreaker to see which team would advance to the knockout stage.
