# Uganda men's national basketball team

The Uganda national basketball team also known as The Silverbacks represents Uganda in international basketball competitions. It is administered by the Federation of Uganda Basketball Associations (FUBA).
Uganda made its debut at the FIBA Africa Championship at its 2015 edition in Tunisia. There, Uganda beat Zimbabwe 72–64 to earn its first victory at the continent's prime tournament.

## Outlook

At the AfroBasket 2021 qualification, Uganda had group plays against Egypt, Morocco and Cape Verde.
At AfroBasket 2021 in Rwanda, Uganda had its best performance in history as it reached the quarter-finals where it eventually lost to Cape Verde.
