History

Basketball was first introduced in China by YMCA missionaries by the second half of the 1890s, remaining popular in urban areas during the Republican period. With the creation of the People's Republic of China, the sport retained its popularity, being introduced in PE in schools.

The first color movie in China about sports was Xie Jin's Woman Basketball Player No. 5, from 1957. By the 1970s, basketball was, alongside volleyball, one of the most popular women's sport in the country.

China stayed out of international competitions since 1958, when the International Olympic Committee chose Taiwan as the representative of the country.

After the People's Republic of China became the representative of China in international competitions, the basketball team won several accolades, including several golds in the Asian Games and the Asia Cup, a third place in the 1984 Summer Olympics, and a third place in the 1983 Women's World Cup.

For the first time since 1994, China got a medal in the 2022 Women's World Cup after being defeated by Team USA in the finals.

The China Women's National Basketball Team, commonly known as the China Women’s Basketball Team, is the premier women's basketball team representing China in international competitions. Governed by the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), the team has a rich history of success and is recognized for its disciplined play, skilled athletes, and competitive spirit.

Historically, the team has been a strong contender in Asian and global tournaments, securing multiple medals in the Asian Games, FIBA Asia Cup, and achieving notable performances in the FIBA Women's World Cup and the Olympic Games. China Women’s basketball is known for its solid defense, teamwork, and the development of talented players who often compete both domestically and internationally.

The team continues to strive for excellence, aiming to improve its standings on the world stage and inspire future generations of female basketball players in China. With a dedicated coaching staff and a growing pool of talented athletes, the China Women’s Basketball Team remains a prominent force in international women’s basketball.
