The FIBA Europe Selection Team, or the FIBA European Selection Team, won most of the FIBA Europe All-Star Game Festivals, with an overall record of 24–5.

However, the FIBA Europe All-Star Game was eventually permanently replaced by the FIBA EuroStars in 1998, during the 1998–99 season. The FIBA EuroStars All-Star Game was itself eventually discontinued by FIBA Europe. It was last held in 2007.
