The Colombia national basketball team (Spanish : selección de baloncesto de Colombia ) represents Colombia in men's international basketball competitions and organized and run by the Colombia Basketball Federation (Federación Colombiana de Baloncesto ).[2]
In South America, Team Colombia made some considerable improvements in the last decade but still stands in the shadow of the Big Four Basketball Powers (Team Argentina , Team Brazil , Team Venezuela and Team Uruguay ). Its best result to date remains the 7th place at the 1982 FIBA World Championship where Colombia was host.
In 2017, Colombia appeared at the FIBA AmeriCup , the Americas' prime basketball event, for the first time. Colombia's standout player, Juan Palacios , power forward in the Basketball Champions League returned to the national team for the first time since 2009.[3]
