YOGYAKARTA - The qualifying round for the FIBA 2023 event has ended and is just waiting for the competition to take place in the middle of the year. A total of 32 teams qualified to be participants in the 2023 basketball world trophy.
Indonesia is one of the hosts in the FIBA World Cup 2023 with Japan and the Philippines. But unfortunately the Indonesian Basketball National Team did not manage to secure a ticket to the international event. The national team failed to enter the 2022 Basketball Asian Cup quarter-finals.
Even without the national team, the Indonesian people can't wait for the excitement of the basketball world cup competition. The draw or draw for the group stage for FIBA 2023 will be held on April 29, 2023.
A total of 32 teams are divided into four zones, namely the Asia and Oceania, Europe, Africa, and America Zones. The following is a list of 32 teams that qualified for the main round of the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
Asian and Oceanian zones: Australia, China, Iran, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, New Zealand, Philippines.
European zones: Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain.
African Zones: Angola, Tanjung Verde, Egypt, Ivory Coast, South Sudan.
American Zone: Brazil, Canada, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, United States, Venezuela.
Of the 32 participants in the 2023 Basketball World Cup, four of them will make their debut in this international event. The four countries that will appear for the first time are from the European Zone and the African Zone.
The two teams from the European Zone that will make their debut in FIBA 2023 are Georgia and Latvia. Meanwhile, the two debut teams from the African Zone are Tanjung Verde and South already.
In addition, there are five teams that will return to compete in the Basketball World Cup after missing the 2019 edition of the competition. The five teams are Finland, Slovenia, Egypt, Lebanon, and Mexico.
Europe became the continent with the most participant developers, namely 12 countries. Meanwhile, the Asian continent is the second largest contributor to participants by sending eight representatives. Africa is a zone with the fewest participants, namely only five teams.
Despite being the host of the 2023 Basketball World Cup, Indonesia was not included in the list of participants. The red and white national team failed to take advantage of the qualifying path, so they did not make it into the main round of the 2023 FIBA.
FIBA gave the Indonesian national team the opportunity to prove its quality. The world basketball federation provides the second route, namely on condition that it passes to the 2023 FIBA Asian Cup quarter-finals. However, in the competition that was held in Jakarta last year, Indonesia still has not managed to qualify.
The 2023 Basketball World Cup will be held from August 25 to September 10, 2023. Indonesia will host the Group G and H preliminary matches.
The venue for the 2023 FIBA in Indonesia is located in the Indoor Multifunction Stadium (IMS), Gelora Bung Karno Complex (GBK), Jakarta. The IMS development is almost complete and ready to hold the prestigious basketball competition.
IMS is an indoor concept stadium that has an audience capacity of 16,088. The construction of the IMS is targeted for completion in June 2023.
That's information about the 2023 Basketball World Cup participants. There are 32 teams from various continents that will appear in the 2023 FIBA event. The group stage draw will take place on April 29 at the Coliseum Arena, Manila, Philippines.
