Basketball made its debut at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Since then, the sport has become one of the highlights of the Summer Olympics with countless memorable moments and competitions.
From the dominance of the American Dream Team in 1992 to Argentina's surprising victory in 2004, Olympic basketball has brought us many unforgettable moments. The rules and formats have evolved over the years to make the sport more exciting and attractive to a global audience.
The 2024 Olympic basketball games have now started and will take place from July 27 to August 10 in Paris, France. The matches will be held at the Arena Paris La Défense, a venue equipped with the latest technologies to ensure the best experience for players and fans. The group matches will be held in Lille and the knockout rounds in the Bercy Arena in Paris.
The United States has traditionally been the dominant force in Olympic basketball, with an impressive list of gold medals. Spain and Australia are also teams to watch given their strong performances in recent international tournaments.
Stars such as Kevin Durant, Luka Dončić and Rudy Gobert shine on the Olympic podium. Their performances can make a big difference to their respective teams.

Olympic basketball largely follows the rules of FIBA, with some adjustments to make the game even more exciting. Each team consists of five players on the field, and the matches last four quarters of ten minutes each.
