History
The team won the silver medal at the 1990 ABC Under-18 Championship after ceding to Japan in the final.[4] With this placement, the team led by the great player Anwar Abdoul Hay qualified for the 1991 FIBA Under-19 World Championship, where after losing 80-113 to Brazil, 99-88 to the Soviet Union and 67-80 to Yugoslavia in the basic group, they fought their way into the playoffs. In the battle for placement, they first won with Uruguay 79-78, then with Australia 76-72 and with Japan 93-79. Although they lost to China and Australia in the next two matches, they placed in a record twelfth place.[5]
After an unexpected third place at the 2008 Asian Championship, the Syrian team qualified to the 2009 FIBA Under-19 World Championship held in Auckland, New Zealand. They remained winless after defeats by Spain, Canada and Australia and finished the tournament in last position.[citation needed]
