Syria national basketball team represents Syria in international basketball competitions.
Eurobasket 1949
Syria's debut in the European championships came at Eurobasket 1949, held in Cairo, Egypt. The refusal of the Soviet Union to host the competition and FIBA Europe's unwillingness to ask Czechoslovakia to host consecutive tournaments meant that 1947 bronze medallist Egypt hosted the competition. Due to travel difficulties and fears, few European teams would travel to the African country to compete. Syria, as well as Lebanon, were asked to compete in the European championship despite being Asian countries.
In the seven team round robin tournament, the Syrians won only one of their games (against winless Lebanon) and lost the other five. They finished in sixth place.
Fiba U19 World Championship 2009
Syria's team made an appearance at the 2009 Fiba U19 World Championshipheld in Auckland, New Zealand. Although they remained winless and finished the tournament in last position, the fact that they qualified alone is a great achievement and shows the future of Syrian basketball is ever improving
