FIBA World Championship Wiki Information
The FIBA World Championship
is a world basketball tournament for men's national teams held quadrennially by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).
A parallel event for women's teams, the FIBA World Championship for Women, is also held quadrennially, in the same year as the men's event but in a different country.
The champion team wins the Naismith Trophy, which was first awarded in the 1967 tournament.
The tournament structure is similar but not identical to that of the FIFA World Cup; both of these international competitions have been played in the same year since 1970.
