Paraguayan Basketball Federation

The Paraguayan Basketball Federation (in Spanish: Confederación Paraguaya de Básquetbol) is the governing body of basketball in Paraguay. In 1936, no governing body of basketball existed in Paraguay, so basketball was part of the Paraguayan Sports Association until 1947, the year in which the Paraguayan Basketball Federation was founded. That same year, it joined the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). The PBF organizes both the National League (for teams outside of Asunción) and the Metropolitan League (only for teams from Asunción), and runs the Paraguay national basketball team.
