TBF International Under-16 Tournament

International boys' youth age basketball tournament

The TBF International Under-16 Tournament, or TBF Under-16 Basketball World Cup, is an international boys' youth age basketball tournament that is contested between the best Under-16 age national teams in the world. The tournament takes place every year in Turkey, and is organized by the Turkish Basketball Federation (TBF). Since FIBA does not currently organize an under-16 age boys' world championship, this tournament serves as the de facto boys' official Under-16 World Cup. It is considered by followers of European basketball to be one of the most prestigious international tournaments in the boys' youth categories.
