The Tunisian Basketball Federation Cup or FTBB Cup, is an annual basketball cup in Tunisian men's basketball. [1] The tournament is organised by the Tunisia Basketball Federation (FTBB)
It is contested by the teams that did not qualify for the play-off phase of the Championnat National A. Since 2018, the games are played during the FIBA national teams qualifiers which means most games are contested without team's internationals. The current champion is JS Kairouan, who won the title in the 2025.
In the 2012 final, the US Monastir beat Ezzahra Sports at the Kairouan Indoor Sports Hall and the JS Kairouan in the semi-final. In the 2013 final, the CA Bizertin won the final 87–77 against the JS Kairouan. In the 2014 final, the ES Goulettoise defeated the JS Menazah in the final. In the 2015 final, the JS Kairouan defeated Stade Nabeulien.
During the season of 2017–18, the Tunisian Basketball Federation created a new version of the Federation Cup: a tournament with three teams from the Championnat Pro A. This tour is during the qualifying phase between 8 November – 1 December 2017) of national equipment for the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup. The Club Africain will submit the first final version of the new version of the ES Sahel 73–70 at the Bir Challouf hall in Nabeul. [2]
During the 2018–19 season, the Club Africain won the second edition of the new version in the final against DS Grombalia 67–65 at the Bir Challouf hall in Nabeul.

The competition takes place during the qualifying phase between 9 November and 22 December 2018 of the national teams for the 2019 World Cup.
For the third edition in 2020–21, the Tunisian Basketball Federation changed the name of the competition to the Abderraouf-Menjour Cup. Seven teams participated in this tournament between 9 December and 12 December 2020, [3] while the Club Africain, US Monastir, ES Radès, and AS Hammamet withdrew, and the ES Sahel withdrew before its first match.
