Somalia men's national basketball team

As of April 2014, Nur Mohamed Abdullahi serves as the president of the Somalia Basketball Federation. Sadak Abdulkadir is the Secretary General.[2] The captain of the team is Yusuf Qaafow.[3]

The Somalia Basketball Federation became affiliated with FIBA in 1960.[2] It is part of the executive board of the Arab Basketball Confederation.[4]
