FIBA International Christmas Tournament[1] also known as the Christmas Tournament (Torneo de Navidad) was a men's basketball international friendly competition at the club level (and in some editions with national teams), organized by FIBA at its first decades through the Commission of International Organizations under the hand of Raimundo Saporta, club director and president of the International Commission of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), and with the authorization and support of R. William Jones, its general secretary, so it had the officiality of FIBA in its first decades of life,[2] being also the starting point of the FIBA Intercontinental Cup, whose first edition appears in the history of this competition.[3][4] After 1980, the tournament transitioned to being an festive exhibition, although it still garnered attention and popularity.[citation needed]
