The Sudanese national basketball team is the

national team of the country of Sudan. It is administered by the Sudan Basketball Association.[2]

In the 1960s and 1970s, the country was among the continent's basketball elite as it finished runner-up at the

FIBA Africa Championship
in 1962 and won bronze in 1975.

The country has produced some NBA players, most notably

FIBA competitions and England in the Commonwealth Games. Traditionally, most of Sudan's most talented players have usually come from the South. (Bol and Deng e.g. were both born in South Sudan) Hence, the independence of South Sudan
brought forth new challenges.

In recent years, several of the Sudan's top players have played key roles for teams of the US-based

2011 Pan Arab Games
.
