The Senegal women's national basketball team is the nationally-controlled basketball team representing Senegal at world basketball competitions for women. The Senegalese squad had 9 continental championships with the next closest squads having 2 each (Zaire/Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola).

History

The Senegalese women's national basketball team had won a medal at every FIBA Africa Championship for Women except for the initial one in 1966. This includes 9 gold medals between 1974 and 2000 (9 in 12 tournaments), though Senegal has only managed to earn 1 bronze and 2 silver medals in the 3 tournaments hence. The team has taken part in one Summer Olympics in 2000, where they finished in last place (12th).

FIBA Africa Championship for Women 2007

Senegal played host to the FIBA Africa Championship for Women 2007 qualifying tournament for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The squad swept the first round with a 5-0 record and beat the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mozambique before losing to Mali, despite the fact that Senegal had beaten Mali 48-37 just 4 days previous. Senegal did qualify for the FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Women 2008 to be held in July 2008, in which 12 teams from across the globe will compete for 5 spots in the Olympics. Angola also qualified through the FIBA Africa tournament as the third place finisher.
