The Cambodia national basketball team represents Cambodia in international basketball competitions and is managed by the Cambodian Basketball Federation (CBF). At the 2023 SEA Games, Cambodia had its best performance ever, which has been the subject of controversy due to their inclusion of multiple naturalized players on their roster.
CambodiaâÂÂs modern basketball revival builds on earlier international experience, including notable matches in the 1960s. The Cambodia menâÂÂs national basketball team faced strong international opposition, most notably the Brazil menâÂÂs national basketball team during the GANEFO Games 1963, where Cambodia impressed observers by putting up strong resistance despite defeat which ended 70:81.
Cambodian club and city teams also played friendly matches against visiting foreign clubs and Soviet teams during this period, helping to develop domestic basketball through international exposure during the 1960s.
Cambodia participated in its first FIBA-sanctioned event in the 21st century when it entered the SEABA qualifiers for the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup in 2018.
