Serbia men's national basketball team
The Serbian national basketball team (Serbian: Кошаркашка репрезентација Србије / Košarkaška reprezentacija Srbije) represents Serbia in international basketball matches and is controlled by the Basketball Federation of Serbia. Serbia is currently ranked third in the FIBA World Rankings.[1]
History
2006–present
A new generation, again led by coach Dušan Ivković returned some of the old glory by taking the silver medal in Eurobasket 2009, and fourth place in the 2010 FIBA World Championship, with the youngest team.[2] In late 2013, a Serbian basketball hall of famer Aleksandar Đorđević was confirmed as a successor to Ivković. Đorđević led the team to two silver medals at the 2014 FIBA World Championship[3]and the 2016 Summer Olympics. Serbia won two Fiba World Cup 1998, 2002, and the official tournament Fiba Diamond Ball 2004.
