It is one of the first national teams from the African continent to take part in FIBA international competitions . After she first took part in the European basketball championships and won the title there after winning the bronze medal in 1947 as host of the European Championship finals in 1949 in the absence of the leading Eastern European nations, she was also a participant in the first world championship in 1950 , in which she reached fifth place and best non- American team.
