[2] (French: République démocratique du Congo Fédération de basket-ball) The team has appeared in the FIBA Africa Championship, but has yet to appear in the FIBA World Championship.

Its biggest success to date was the Final Four placement at the 1975 FIBA Africa Championship when it competed as Zaire.

DR Congo joined the FIBA in 1963 and made their first tournament debut twelve years later, during the 1974 AfroBasket.

After another 10-year absence, the country played in the AfroBasket 2017 where they reached the quarter-finals after upsetting Nigeria in the group phase.

DR Congo has never appeared in the FIBA Basketball World Cup, but has played in the qualifying rounds.
