TheTurkey men's national basketball team (Turkish:Türkiye Millî Basketbol Takımı), recognized asTürkiye byFIBA, representsTurkey in internationalbasketball. They are governed by theTurkish Basketball Federation. Their nickname is the12 Dev Adam, meaning 12 Giant Men.
Turkey has competed at every major international basketball tournament. Their greatest achievements are winning two silver medals at theEuroBasket, one on home soil in2001, and another in2025. They have also won silver at theFIBA World Cup, as hosts in2010. Turkey won two gold (1987,2013), one silver (1971), and three bronze (1967,1983,2009) medals at theMediterranean Games. They also won a gold medal at the1981 Balkan Championship.
Currently, Turkey stands 12th in theFIBA World Ranking.[3]
Ahmet Robenson was known as being the first organizer of basketball inTurkey.[4] In 1936, Turkey played its first ever basketball match againstGreece, winning 49–12.
For many years basketball was a little-known sport in Turkey, but when the American dramaThe White Shadow started airing in the country, it gained popularity. However, the national team at the time lacked experience and could not win any international tournaments until the 1980s, when Turkey won the gold medal at the1981 Balkan Championship and the1987 Mediterranean Games.
At the club level,Efes Pilsen was the first Turkish club to win a European Cup in any team sport, the1995–96 FIBA Korać Cup. Since then, basketball in Turkey has grown immensely, as the national team began to play a major role in international tournaments. Turkey won the silver medal at bothEuroBasket 2001, and the2010 FIBA World Cup.
Turkey’s debut at international tournaments, came with the1936 Summer Olympics, where they recorded two defeats againstChile andEgypt.
Turkey'sEuropean Championship debut came at theEuroBasket 1949. The Turks split their six matches in the seven-team round robin tournament, finishing with three wins and three losses for fourth place.[5]Hüseyin Öztürk, who was the scoring leader of the tournament, won theMVP award.[6]
Turkey competed again at theEuroBasket 1951 inParis. Their only loss in the preliminary round was to theSoviet Union as Turkey earned the second-rank spot with a 3–1 record. Their single loss toBulgaria in the semi-final round, however, was enough to bump them from championship contention as they came out on the bottom of a three-way tie with a 2–1 record. They won their classification 5–8 game, but lost the 5/6 game toItaly.
Turkey returned after missing 1953's edition to theEuroBasket 1955 inBudapest. They went 1–2 in their preliminary round group, taking third in the pool and moving to classification play. There they lost only toFrance on their way to a 3–1 record in classification round 1. They lost their 9–12 semi-final by 1 point toFinland, but defeatedEngland 77–54 in the next game to take 11th place of the 18 team tournament.
Turkey appeared again at theEuroBasket 1957 inSofia. Losing to theSoviet Union andPoland in the preliminary round, Turkey took third in the group to be sent to the classification pool. They defeated each of the other seven teams in the classification round in order to take 9th place of the 16 teams. Turkey hostedEuroBasket 1959, but displayed a poor performance during the tournament finishing 12th.
The 1960s, 1970s and 1980s were in general a barren period for the Turkish national basketball team. They were, however, successful at theMediterranean Games, winning two bronze medals in1967 and1983, one silver medal in1971, and one gold medal in1987. Turkey also won the gold medal at the1981 Balkan Championship. The team was led by notable coaches like Samim Göreç and Mehmet Baturalp in the 1960s and 1970s, and byAydan Siyavuş during the Balkan and Mediterranean triumphs of the 1980s, which marked the dawn of a successful new era in Turkish basketball (especially in European club competitions) starting from the late 1980s and early 1990s.Efe Aydan andErman Kunter were among the notable players of this period in Turkish basketball. Erman Kunter, who still holds a number of all-time records in theTurkish Basketball League as a player, later became a successful coach in the Turkish and French basketball leagues, and led the Turkish national team at theEuroBasket 1999.
Turkey appeared again at theEuroBasket 1993 after 12 years of absence, but finished 11th among 16 teams. Turkey finished 13th among 14 teams at theEuroBasket 1995, 8th among 16 teams at theEuroBasket 1997, and again 8th among 16 teams at theEuroBasket 1999.
As the host country of theEuroBasket 2001, the Turkish national basketball team, led by coachAydın Örs, reached the EuroBasket final for the first time in their history. Turkey defeatedCroatia in the quarter-finals andGermany in the semis, before their showdown withFR Yugoslavia in the final. Turkey would ultimately lose the game {69–78}, finishing the Euros with the silver medal.[7] Furthermore, Turkish starsİbrahim Kutluay scored 19 points in the final game, whileHidayet Türkoğlu was named to theAll-Tournament team. The now-infamous march of the team, 12 Dev Adam byAthena was published the same year.
Due to their surprising finish at EuroBasket 2001, Turkey qualified for their first appearance to theFIBA World Cup in 2002. Turkey, however, would accumulate just four wins against four defeats at the World Cup to finish the tournament in ninth.[8]
At theEuroBasket 2003, Turkey reached the second round where they got eliminated by Serbia and Montenegro.
Turkey qualified for theEuroBasket 2005 held inSerbia and Montenegro, but lost toLithuania (87–75) and Croatia (80–67), defeating onlyBulgaria (94–89) in the preliminary round. This win brought Turkey to the knock-out stage, whereGermany eliminated the team 66–57. Turkey ended the tournament with a 9–12 rank.
Turkey was awarded one of the fourwild cards byFIBA for the qualification to the2006 FIBA World Cup inJapan.
The Turkish squad completed the preliminary round inGroup C in second place behind theGreek team, and was entitled to play in theRound of 16. There the team defeatedSlovenia 90–84, to advance into the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time in their history. However, In the quarter-finals, Turkey lost toArgentina, and was relegated to the classification round. There, Turkey would go on to defeat Lithuania once again, before losing toFrance to finish the tournament in sixth place.[9]
After their surprising results at the tournament, a new nickname,12 Cesur Yürek (12 Brave Hearts) was proposed after the young and inexperienced teams' fearless performance at the 2006 FIBA World Cup, despite not having star players Hidayet Türkoğlu,Mehmet Okur,Mirsad Türkcan,Kerem Tunçeri andHüseyin Beşok.
At theEuroBasket 2007, Turkey played in Group C withLithuania,Germany and theCzech Republic. Turkey began by losing 86–69 to Lithuania and was then blown out 79–49 by Germany. The team ended group play with an 80–72 win over fellow bottom-of-the-group team Czech Republic. With that win Turkey advanced to the next round, although the team lost all of its games (66–51 to Slovenia, 84–75 to Italy and 85–64 to France) in that phase. The three results eliminated Turkey from the EuroBasket 2007 with an (1–5) record and an 11th-place finish.[10]
At theEuroBasket 2009, Turkey played in Group D with hostsPoland, Lithuania andBulgaria. The Group D matches took place inWrocław, Poland. Turkey won all three of its group matches and qualified for the second round.
Turkey enjoyed a strong start in the second round, as they won their first match against World ChampionsSpain 63–60; whenÖmer Aşık andErsan İlyasova rejected a last-second shot bySergio Llull. Turkey then beat Serbia in overtime. Turkey's winning streak came to an end against Slovenia, when, despite a 19-point comeback,Engin Atsür missed a desperation three pointer in a 69–67 loss.
In the knockout stage, Turkey were against Greece and lost a close game in overtime, finishing the tournament 8th.[11] Yet, in the same year, Turkey won the bronze medal at the2009 Mediterranean Games.
As the host country, Turkey, led by coachBogdan Tanjević, automatically qualified for the2010 FIBA World Cup. Turkey topped their group, winning all of their games against theIvory Coast,Russia,Greece,Puerto Rico andChina. In the knockout stages Turkey managed to defeatFrance,Slovenia andSerbia in a thrilling semi-final match which Turkey won 83–82.
The national team enjoyed their greatest success to date on the international stage going undefeated in group play and progressing to the final, where they eventually lost to theUnited States to come away with the silver medal.[12] Each player was awarded a prize of 1,500,000 TL (approximately $1,000,000 in September 2010) from the Turkish government for being the runner-up in the competition.[13]
Orhun Ene, who was the assistant coach of Turkey next to Tanjević and had a successful career as a player, was appointed the head coach to lead Turkey during theEuroBasket 2011. The team had a disappointing tournament, as they were eliminated in the second group phase after losing three straight games. Turkey and Serbia were the only teams that managed to defeat the eventual EuroBasket 2011 championsSpain during the tournament.[14]
Two years later, Turkey won their second gold medal at the2013 Mediterranean Games by defeatingSerbia in the final. A few months later at theEuroBasket 2013, Turkey managed to defeat onlySweden, before finishing the competition with a (1–4) record to fail making it out of the group stage.[15]

On 22 March 2014, theTurkish Basketball Federation announced thatErgin Ataman would lead Turkey during the2014 FIBA World Cup,EuroBasket 2015 and the2016 Summer Olympics.[16] After receiving awild card bid, Turkey qualified for the 2014 FIBA World Cup.[17] The team was slotted intoGroup C, to begin their tournament run. Turkey would eventually accumulate a (3–2) record during the group phase to advance into the knockout rounds. In the Round of 16, Turkey earned a hard-fought victory overAustralia 65–64. In the quarter-finals, Turkey's tournament appearance would come to an end as the national team fell toLithuania 73–61.[18]
AtEuroBasket 2015, Turkey arrived on to the continental stage with confidence, after their solid play at the 2014 FIBA World Cup. Although the team would suffer a setback after getting past the group stage, as they were thoroughly outplayed in their Round of 16 match againstFrance 76–53.[19] After the disappointment for Turkey in 2015, head coach Ergin Ataman still had the responsibility to guide Turkey to the2016 Olympic Tournament. The national team would once again have a let down, coming away with a (1–2) record duringqualifying and being eliminated.[20]
On 19 January 2017,Ufuk Sarıca succeeded Ergin Ataman as Turkey's new head coach.[21] Sarıca was among the star players ofEfes Pilsen in the 1990s, winning the1995–96 FIBA Korać Cup and reaching the final of the1992–93FIBA Saporta Cup with the Istanbul-based club under head coachAydın Örs.
Turkey was named one of four co-hosts for theEuroBasket 2017.[22] However, the national team put up a near identical performance as they did at the2015 edition Turkey was knocked out in the Round of 16 both times, although winning one fewer game in 2017.[23]
In qualification for Turkey to make it to the2019 FIBA World Cup, the national team posted an (8–4) record duringEuropean Qualifiers to make it to their fifth consecutive World Cup finals appearance.[24][25] Entering the 2019 FIBA World Cup, Turkey was placed intoGroup E where they defeatedJapan in their first match 86–67.[26] In their next game the national team were up against the United States. In the highly competitive back and forth battle between the two sides that needed overtime to decide a winner, it was the Americans who pulled out the narrow 93–92 victory. After the demoralizing loss, Turkey would go on to lose their final match of the preliminary phase 76–91 to theCzech Republic, which relegated the team to the classification round to finish out the tournament.[27]

Orhun Ene was appointed head coach of Turkey for a second term on 23 November 2020. After Turkey failed to qualify for the2023 FIBA World Cup, Ene resigned and was replaced byErgin Ataman.
Under coach Ergin Ataman, and players likeCedi Osman,Furkan Korkmaz,Shane Larkin, andAlperen Şengün, Turkey reached the knockout stage of theEuroBasket 2022, where they were eliminated byFrance.
At theEuroBasket 2025, Turkey reached the final for the first time since 24 years and settled for the silver medal. Alperen Şengün recorded 28 points in an 83–88 loss againstGermany.
