Malian Cup (basketball)

The Malian Cup is the premier knockout cup competition in Malian basketball, open to both men's and women's teams. It is organized by the Fédération Malienne de Basket-Ball (FMBB). The winner of the cup typically qualifies to represent Mali in continental club competitions, such as the Basketball Africa League (BAL) in the men's division or the FIBA Africa Champions Cup for Women. The competition generally features teams from across Mali, including those from the capital city, Bamako, and other regional centers. The exact format of the competition can vary from year to year, but it generally involves a series of knockout rounds leading to a final match to determine the champion. Historical records of past winners and participation details may be limited due to varying degrees of record-keeping across different seasons.
