The
1998 FIBA World Championship
was the 13th
FIBA World Championship
, an international
basketball
tournament held by the
International Basketball Federation
and hosted in
Greece
from 29 July to 9 August 1998. The tournament was contested by 16 nations and the matches were played in two venues in
Athens
.
Because of the
National Basketball Association
lockout
and unlike in the
previous championship
, the
USA Basketball Association
was unable to send a team composed of NBA players, thus causing the
American national team
roster consisting of professional basketball players playing in Europe and two college players.

The tournament was won by
FR Yugoslavia
, in their first participation after the
breakup of Yugoslavia
, defeating
Russia
in the final 64-62.
