The FIBA Central Board is an institution of FIBA (the governing body of basketball). It is the highest executive body of the organization, with the role of overseeing basketball globally. A majority of its members are elected by the FIBA Congress, while up to six members may be co-opted.[1]

In addition to presenting reports to the Congress, the Board also appoints the host countries of the FIBA Basketball World Cup and the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup.
