Cambodia Basketball Federation

Rebuilding
Cambodian basketball.

The Cambodia Basketball Federation is the national governing body for basketball in the Kingdom of Cambodia, affiliated to FIBA since 1958. A new executive has been elected, and the federation is being rebuilt — governance first, then the pathway, then the results.

Our mandate

Four pillars

A national federation exists to do four things properly. These are ours, and we intend to be measured against them.

Governance

A federation that runs to a published constitution, a real calendar and accounts that add up — the standard FIBA, the NOCC and every sponsor is entitled to expect.

National Teams

Men's, women's and youth programmes with year-round selection, qualified coaching staff and a fixture calendar published in advance — not assembled weeks before a tournament.

Competition

A national competition structure that runs every season, from provincial and school basketball to a senior domestic league, with results and standings on the public record.

Development

Licensed coaches, trained referees and affiliated clubs. You cannot build a national team on a foundation that does not exist — so we build the foundation.

The plan

How we rebuild

No promises the federation cannot keep. Three phases, in order, each one finished before the next is claimed.

  1. 01

    Establish the record

    Constitution, executive register, affiliated-club list and the federation's public record brought up to date — including the FIBA directory entry.

  2. 02

    Rebuild the pathway

    Club affiliation reopened, coach and referee licensing restarted, and a published national selection route from youth to senior.

  3. 03

    Return to competition

    A national competition calendar that runs every season, and Cambodian teams entered in FIBA Asia and SEABA competition on schedule.

The record

Where we stand

Stated plainly, because an honest baseline is the only place a rebuild can start from.

Cambodia has never qualified for the FIBA Asia Cup or the FIBA Basketball World Cup. The men's senior team is currently unranked. That is the gap this federation exists to close.
