The 2022 FIBA Asia Cup qualification was a basketball competition that was played from February 2018 to August 2021, to determine the fifteen FIBA Asia-Oceania nations who would join the automatically qualified host Indonesia at the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup.

Qualification format

[edit]

In line with the new FIBA Calendar format implemented since 2017, FIBA Asia began their own qualifiers for 2021 FIBA Asia Cup in 2018. Pre-qualifiers were contested on sub-zone and regional basis between Division B teams – teams that did not participate in FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Asian Qualifiers. Eight Teams that emerged victorious in the pre-qualifiers qualified to the qualifiers joining sixteen Division A teams – participants at 2017 FIBA Asia Cup and 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification. Qualifiers started after the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.[1]

Draw

[edit]

The draw for the main qualifiers was held on 8 June 2019 in Bangalore, India.[10] Eight pots were used for the seeding of the 24 qualified teams based on geographical and ranking principles. The first four pots were allocated for teams in the East Region, covering teams from the EABA (East Asia), SEABA (Southeast Asia), and FIBA Oceania and the rest for teams in the West Region which has the GBA (Gulf), WABA (Middle East), CABA (Central Asia), and SABA (South Asia) in its scope. The top seeded teams for each region were allocated in Pot 1 and 5. The top six seeded teams were confirmed on 31 May 2019 based on the FIBA ranking as of 26 February 2019.[11]

First round

[edit]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FIBA Executive Committee decided in 2020 September that for the 2020 November and 2021 February windows games in each group were held at a single venue under a bubble format. Games from Group B, C, and F as well as games involving South Korea were not held during the 2020 November window.[12][13][14] Top two teams from each group qualified for the 2021 FIBA Asia cup, while all third-placed teams competed in the second round. After the June 2021 window, all games not played were cancelled and groups were ranked based on the games played to date.[15]

Group A

[edit]

Indonesia was confirmed as hosts of the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup on 18 December 2020, therefore qualifying for the tournament proper regardless of their final placing.[16]
