The 2022 FIBA Asian Cup is the only door for the Indonesian basketball national team to get tickets to the 2023 World Cup which will be held in Jakarta.
However, to qualify for the event, Indonesia must reach the last eight of the 16 teams playing in the Asian Cup. Previously, Indonesia's opportunity to qualify through the qualification route was closed.
That's because Red and White have always lost in six matches in Group C in the Asian Zone. The qualification took place from November last year to July this year.
