The 19th edition of the FIBA Basketball World Cup will take place from 25 August-10 September across the nations of Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia who are co-hosting the tournament.
A total of 32 men's national teams will be taking part after securing their place via the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers, a 15-month-long process featuring 80 teams from across four regions (Asia and Oceania, Africa, Americas, and Europe) playing against each other in six windows.
The first window took place in late November 2021 with four more in 2022. The last remaining spot was awarded on 27 February.
As well as deciding who will be world champion, the World Cup will also allocate quota berths for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Seven spots will be secured during the World Cup with the best teams from the respective regions earning a ticket based on the final classification. They will be divided as follows:
- Two for the Americas
- Two for Europe
- One for Africa
- One for Asia
- One for Oceania
With France already guaranteed a place as Games hosts, the remaining four spots will be determined by results of the Olympic Qualifying Tournaments for Paris 2024 which will take place over two phases.
