History:
Founded on October 11,
1975, FIBA Americas, otherwise known as the Pan-American
Basketball Confederation, is a non-profit organization
representing the International Basketball Federation
(FIBA) in the American continent. FIBA Americas
has jurisdiction from Canada to Argentina, specifically
divided into three zones: the North Area (Canada
and the US), Central America and the Caribbean
zone, and the South American zone. Primarily,
FIBA Americas “controls, establishes the
by-laws and regulations, technically leads and
guides the basketball competitions, for men and
women, between national selections or clubs that
at Pan-American levels get organized and where
there are countries or teams participating from
more than one zone.” FIBA Americas likewise
organizes pre-Olympic tournaments, directs Pan-American
competitions, and designs course clinics at the
national level.
