Welcome to International Basketball Club (IBBC) Geneva

Open to all men and women basketball players 18 years or older in the Cantons of Geneva, Vaud and neighbouring France


The Club is multi-lingual and multi-cultural, with members from more than 30 countries. Club members come from international organizations and country permanent missions in Geneva, Swiss- and French-based private enterprises, and local universities. New basketball players may join at any time – see Rules and fees for more information.

IBBC plays basketball year round. From September to mid-June practice sessions are held three nights a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, excluding school holidays, at Collège Sismondi – see Gymnasium for more information.

From October to May our men’s team and our women’s team compete in the Geneva Amateur Basketball Association (ACGBA) championship, on average once a week. ACGBA is part of the Swiss Basketball Federation – Swiss Basketball.

Club members also participate in tournaments in Geneva and other European cities, including the annual United Nations Inter-Agency Games. Occasionally we organize international tournaments in Geneva.

As of 2023, our club benefits from the generous support of the restaurant Mama & Zita ., a place where our teams have enjoyed gathering socially.
