Confederación Argentina de Básquetbol

What Confederación Argentina de Básquetbol does

Confederación Argentina de Básquetbol (CAB) is the official national governing body for basketball in Argentina, structured as a private non-profit organization headquartered at Montevideo 496, Piso 9 in Buenos Aires. It holds exclusive FIBA-recognized authority over basketball governance in the country, including national team selection, federation oversight, and tournament organization. CAB serves Argentine basketball stakeholders end-to-end: players, clubs, coaches, referees, provincial federations, sponsors, and fans. The organization is overseen by a Consejo Directivo and does not have external investors or a parent entity.

CAB operates a vertically integrated competition and development ecosystem. At the professional level it runs the Liga Federal across seven regional conferences (Centro, Litoral, Metropolitana, NEA, NOA, Sudeste, Sur), complemented by Liga Federal 3x3. Its national teams — Selección Mayor Masculina and Selección Mayor Femenina — compete in FIBA World Cup qualifiers and AmeriCup. At the developmental level it operates Liga Federal Formativa (categories Próx

ima U21, Juveniles U17, Cadetes U15, Infantiles, Mini) and the Programa Nacional de Minibásquetbol, with a Plan de Desarrollo Federal extending reach into provinces such as La Pampa and San Luis. The Campeonato Argentino brings together clubs and provincial federations in flagship national championships. Educational capacity is delivered through Instituto CAB, which focuses on coaching methodology and talent development.

The revenue model is that of a sports federation rather than a commercial enterprise. CAB funds operations through a sponsorship portfolio led by Peak as Patrocinador Oficial alongside Hipotecario Seguros and CH 1 SPORTS, public-sector support via provincial sports secretariats (e.g., Secretaría de Deportes de Corrientes), and federation dues from its 24 provincial member federations. Distribution reaches fans and stakeholders through a digital stack consisting of the argentina.basketball website, the CABB mobile application (Google Play and App Store), and the Básquet Pass streaming platform, which provides free live coverage of Liga Federal and Liga Federal Formativa matches. A network of 24 provincial federations (including major bodies like FeBAMBA in metropolitan Buenos Aires) acts as the regional distribution and member-acquisition backbone of the organization.

Others

• Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA): Argentine national football federation. Not a basketball competitor, but a relevant comparable for understanding how a national sports federation operates within Argentina's specific media, sponsorship, and cultural landscape that CAB competes within.
