Following the 2014 FIBA Extraordinary Congress in Istanbul, FIBA announced a new set of statues that would come into force. These include the increase of Central Board membership from 23 to up to 29 members,[2] including one representative each from the National Basketball Association of the United States and the players association.[1]
The Central Board is currently made up of the following individuals:
The Central Board of the 2023–2027 term was elected during the 22nd FIBA Congress in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines before the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. Other members were appointed on 9 September 2023 during the Board's first meeting.[3]

Any decision taken by the committee are to be relayed to the Central Board, as per FIBA's General Statutes.[1]
Members of the Executive Committee are appointed by the Central Board amongst its own members, with the President of FIBA serving as the Chair of the committee. Both the Secretary-General and Treasurer are also members of the body. According to the organization's statutes, six members are to be appointed, with up to two additional individuals appointed upon proposal by the President and the Secretary General.[1]
