Article 51

DISBANDMENT OF FIBA

The Congress shall declare the disbandment of FIBA:

a. If requested by four-fifths (4/5) of the national member federations and if, at the session of the Congress voting on disbandment, four-fifths (4/5) of the national member federations present and with voting rights, then vote for disbandment. If however, at that session, less than threefourths (3/4) of the national member federations are present, a second session of voting on disbandment shall be called, at which session a majority of four-fifths (4/5) of the national member federations present and with voting rights, irrespective of a quorum, shall be sufficient; or

b. If the number of national member federations is reduced to three (3) or fewer. In the above instances, the International Olympic Committee headquartered in Switzerland shall be assigned the resources remaining after expenses caused by the operations of disbandment have been covered. These resources shall be used for the benefit of basketball, amateur sports, a youth organisation, or other similar activities.
