The DBB Albert Schweitzer Tournament (‹See Tfd›German: Albert-Schweitzer-Turnier, abbreviated as AST), full name DBB Albert Schweitzer World Under-18 Tournament (‹See Tfd›German: DBB Albert Schweitzer Welt-Unter-18-Turnier), is an international basketball competition that is played between national teams of the Under-18 men's age category. It takes place every two years in Mannheim, Germany, and is contested between teams from 12 countries.
The organizers of the tournament are the German Basketball Federation (‹See Tfd›German: Deutscher Basketball Bund, abbreviated as DBB), and the city of Mannheim. The tournament is named after Albert Schweitzer. Since FIBA does not organize an Under-18 world championship, the Albert Schweitzer Tournament is internationally recognized and considered an official non-FIBA organized world championship for the Under-18 age group. From 1958 to 1993, the tournament was an Under-19 age competition. Since 1994, it has been an under-18 age competition.
