Basketball News: FIBA Plans Club World Championship

The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) has plans to create a world club championship, the Japan Basketball Association (JBA) said on Wednesday.

The JBA said after a board meeting that the tournament would pit the champions of the five member continents against the winner of the NBA title to determine the best team in the world.

According to the JBA, the tournament would include 16 teams: the top four clubs each from Europe and the Americas, and the top two teams from Africa, Asia and Oceania, respectively.

The JBA said that for the event to become a reality, FIBA officials would still have to iron out details of the tournament such as coordinating the scheduling with the NBA.
