The Morocco national basketball team represents Morocco in international basketball competitions. The team is governed by the Moroccan Royal Basketball Federation, also known as the FRMBB. The team has appeared at the FIBA AfroBasket 20 times and has won the gold medal in the 1965 tournament. In 1968, Morocco finished as runners-up.
The team made the Olympics once, in 1968, but went 0-9 in those games, holding the ignominous distinction of playing the most Olympic basketball games without winning any.
