TBF International Under-16 Tournament
International boys' youth age basketball tournament From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TBF International Under-16 Tournament, or TBF Under-16 Basketball World Cup, was an international boys' youth age basketball tournament that was contested between the best Under-16 age national teams in the world. The tournament took place every year in Turkey, and was organized by the Turkish Basketball Federation (TBF). Since FIBA does not currently organize an under-16 age boys' world championship, this tournament served as the de facto boys' official Under-16 World Cup. It was considered by followers of European basketball to be one of the most prestigious international tournaments in the boys' youth categories.
