Ghana's senior national team has till date only played friendly games, despite its potentials and to the dismay of its fans. Ghanaian basketball players have played in some of the world's strongest leagues. The country does have a U-18 national team that competes at the FIBA Africa Under-18 Championship. Besides a youth national team, Ghana also features a 3x3 basketball team.
Ghana is Africa's most populous nation to never qualify for a major international basketball tournament, apart from youth and 3x3 basketball tournaments.[citation needed] They were scheduled to take part in AfroBasket 2021 qualification, with its group games being cancelled later.
