About

The Hungary national basketball team (Hungarian: Magyar nemzeti kosárlabda-válogatott) represents Hungary in international basketball tournaments. It is governed by the Hungarian Basketball Federation (MKOSZ). The national team had its best years between the 1940s and the 1960s, where it won several medals on the continental stage (1946, 1953, 1955), and qualified for the Summer Olympics on four out of five occasions. After that era, Hungary has been able to reach the EuroBasket twice (1999, 2017) since 1969. At the 2017 event, the country celebrated its first EuroBasket victory in almost 50 years. Hungary vies for their debut appearance at the FIBA World Cup.
