history
Until 1990 Azerbaijan was part of the Soviet Union , which is why Azerbaijani players could only play in the national basketball team of the USSR . After independence from the Soviet Union, the Azerbaijani national basketball team was founded in 1991, which joined FIBA in 1994 . Although Azerbaijan is located in the Middle East , the Azerbaijan Basketball Federation is a member of FIBA Europe and takes part in qualifying rounds for European championships .
However, the team has not yet been able to take part in the finals of a major tournament. In 2006 and 2008 they won gold medals twice in a row at the FIBA European Championships for small countries .
