Apollian Basketball Organization

The Apollian Basketball Organization or just the ABO is the current basketball organization and FIBA representative for the Apollo Union. The ABO was founded in 2008 after the NUAB got abolished after the "Dunkers Doping Scandal".

Competitions
The only professional league is the ABO League. This is a competition where 24 teams play eachother for the national championship. The winner will play against the US champion to determine which club is the best team of North America.

All-Star games are played at the end of the regular season between the best players from the northern and southern conferences.

Rivalries
The main rivals of the national team are the US national squad, the Germany team and the Mexico squad. The US-Apollian rivalry came naturally because the countries are located straight next to eachother and most of the US and Apollian players often play in the American and Apollian competitions. The German-Apollian rivalry came in the late 1970's when the national squad beat the German team 109-34 in the final of the FIBA World Championship. The German team only beat the Apollo Union once in 2003, the game ended 89-86, a very close game. The current record of matches played against eachother is 36-1.

National Squad
This national squad was called up for some international friendlies that were played between the 17 December and 8 January.
