The 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification for the FIBA Africa region, began in November 2021 and concluded in February 2023. The process determined the five African teams that would participate at the 2023 FIBA World Cup.[1]

Format

The qualification structure is as follows:

  • First round: 16 teams were divided into four groups of four teams and played a double round-robin system (home-and-away or two tournaments at a single venue). The three best-placed teams from each group advanced to the second round.
  • Second round: 12 teams were divided into two groups of six teams. Each group was formed from teams advancing from the four first round groups. All results from the previous round were carried over. The two-best placed teams from each group and the best third-placed team qualified for the World Cup.

Entrants

The 16 teams that qualified for AfroBasket 2021 participated in the first round of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup African qualifiers.

Draw

The draw for the first round was held on 31 August 2021 in Mies, Switzerland.[2][3]
