The AfroCan (alternatively known as the FIBA AfroCan) is a men's
international governing body, and the FIBA African zone thereof. Unlike the AfroBasket, AfroCan is only opened to all players who play for basketball clubs based in Africa.[1]

The first ever AfroCan was held in
The second AfroCan was held in 2023 in Angola, with Morocco winning their first title after beating Ivory Coast in the final.[5][6]
