2023 FIBA Women's AfroBasket

The 2023 FIBA Women's AfroBasket was the 26th edition of the tournament and held from 28 July to 5 August 2023 in Kigali, Rwanda.

Nigeria won their fourth consecutive and sixth overall title after defeating Senegal in the final, 84–74.

Host selection

Rwanda was awarded the hosting rights on 25 May 2023. This was the first time Rwanda hosted the event and the second time overall in any senior level, having hosted the men's tournament in 2021.

Format

The 12 teams were split into four groups of three teams each. The first-placed team qualified to the quarterfinals while the other two teams played in a playoff round. A second-placed team faced off against a third-placed team and vice versa. A knockout-system was used after the preliminary round and the losing teams of the quarterfinals played classification games while the winners played out the champion.
