Norway men's national basketball team

In 2012 financial troubles led the Norwegian Basketball Federation to shut down both the men's and women's national teams. The federation simply did not have the funds to keep either the men's or women's teams afloat. Since then, however, the federation has come to realize just how many people from the athletes and teams, to individuals and companies care about the Norwegian basketball community and are willing to provide financial support. The federation also worked to raise money through sponsorships, and eventually signed a major sponsorship agreement with Circle K, in addition to a few smaller sponsors.[2]

In 2018, Norway made its return to FIBA competition by playing at the European Championship for Small Countries. The national team finished as the runners-up after losing 75–59 in the final against Malta.[3]

In 2021, Norway joined the EuroBasket 2025 qualification.

Roster for the EuroBasket 2025 Pre-Qualifiers matches on 24 and 27 February 2022 against Denmark and Kosovo.[4][5]
