Kosovo has been accepted as the 215th member federation of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).
The decision, taken during the FIBA’s Executive Committee meeting in Geneva, sees the governing body become the latest to formally approve Kosovo’s membership after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) granted full recognition to the Kosovo Olympic Committee at its Session in Monte Carlo in December.
FIBA Europe will now work towards incorporating the national teams of the Kosovo Basketball Federation (KBF) into its competitions beginning this summer, with the EuroBasket Women taking place in Hungary and Romania in June, and the men’s equivalent tournament to be held in France, Croatia, Germany and Latvia in September.
