The Ethiopia national basketball team represents Ethiopia in international competitions. It is governed by the Ethiopian Basketball Federation (E.B.F.). (Amharic: á¨á¢áµá®áµá« á áÂÂá«áµ á³áµ áÂÂá´á‡½áÂÂ)
Ethiopia joined FIBA in 1949 and holds the distinction of having the longest basketball tradition in Sub-Saharan Africa. A founding member of the FIBA Africa Championship, the team once belonged to Africa's top five basketball teams. Since the mid-1960s, however, the team lost its international significance. Today, it aims to return to its former glory.
