TheAcropolis International Basketball Tournament (also known as theAcropolis of Athens Basketball Tournament and theAcropolis Basketball Cup) (Greek: Τουρνουά Ακρόπολις) is an internationalbasketball competition that is played betweennational teams,[1] which has been held almost every year since1986, and takes place inAthens, Greece, during the summer. It takes place before the big officialFIBA[2] tournaments like theFIBA Summer Olympic Games, theFIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament, theFIBA World Cup, and theFIBA EuroBasket. The tournament is named after the AthenianAcropolis. The competition is played underFIBA rules.
The tournament is organized by theHellenic Basketball Federation (HBF), which is a member ofFIBA Europe.
The tournament's host team, the senior men'sGreek National Basketball Team, has won the tournament 18 times so far, last one2022. In 1991, theHellenic Basketball Federation andFIBA Europe, joined together to hold the special edition1991 FIBA Centennial Jubilee, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the sport of basketball. The Centennial Jubilee Tournament is not counted with the other Acropolis Tournaments, because it was not solely organized by the Hellenic Basketball Federation.
To date, there have been 32 official Acropolis Tournaments that have been organized by the Hellenic Basketball Federation, plus the unofficial special edition 1991 FIBA Centennial Jubilee. The Greek national team did not host the 2012 Acropolis Tournament, because it participated in the2012 FIBA World Olympic qualifying tournament, and failed to qualify for theOlympics that year. There was also no Acropolis Tournament in the years 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020.
The1991 FIBA Centennial Jubilee was the special edition tournament that was organized jointly byFIBA Europe and theHellenic Basketball Federation to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the sport of basketball. It is not counted officially with the other 32 Acropolis International Tournaments because it was not solely organized by the Hellenic Basketball Federation. It was contested byFrance,Greece,Italy,Yugoslavia,Spain, and theSoviet Union.
