The FIBA Asia Champions Cup, previously known as the Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC) Champions Cup until 2002,[1] is the Asian club championship for professional basketball. It is organised by FIBA Asia, and takes place once a year (since 1995).
FIBA has in the past announced plans to expand the FIBA Intercontinental Cup to possibly include the champion teams from the FIBA Asia Champions Cup, Basketball Africa League, NBL from Australia, and possibly the NBA, at some point in the future.[2][3]
