The FIBA Stanković Continental Champions’ Cup is an international basketball tournament for men's national teams held annually by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). The idea for the tournament came from Dr. Carl Men Ky Ching, president of FIBA and the purpose of the cup was to honor Serbian Borislav Stanković, FIBA Secretary General Emeritus, for his significant contribution to the world of basketball. Being the only Chinese president of the 28 International Sport Federations, Dr. Ching selected China as the host country for the Cup. The Cup is organised to promote basketball in that country and to provide an opportunity for the China men's national basketball team to compete with other top national teams from all around the world at the highest level.
