The latest FIBA 3×3 rankings released on August 18, 2024, show that Burkina Faso is ranked 5th in Africa and 47th in the world. The significant improvement in the African and world rankings is mainly due to the outstanding performance of the U23 Stallions team in the Kampala Championship held from August 5 to 11, 2024.
Prior to the Kampala tournament, Burkina Faso was ranked 93rd in the world with 7,439 points. However, the outstanding performance of both the men’s and women’s teams in the FIBA 3×3 Nations League has helped the country to rise significantly in the rankings. In fact, as of August 18, 2024, Burkina Faso has accumulated 182,893 points, moving up to 47th in the world and 5th in Africa.
The FIBA 3×3 Nations League was a great opportunity for Burkina Faso to shine in the world of 3×3 basketball. The tournament, which featured 16 men’s and 15 women’s matches over six days, was not only intense but also provided an unforgettable experience, thus consolidating Burkina Faso’s position in the world of 3×3 basketball.
The top ten African countries are: Algeria (1st); Uganda (2nd); Benin (3rd); Egypt (4th); Burkina Faso (5th); Madagascar (6th); South Africa (7th); Kenya (8th); Morocco (9th); Nigeria (10th).
