2024 Paris Olympics Basketball Qualifying Explained! 

I think some people will have some prejudicial logic that because Europe has so many talented teams, why are they only given 2 spots and based it on rankings instead. I know for a fact that Asian or African teams have inferior talents compared to Americas and Europe. But do you ever wonder why the Olympic logo has 5 rings in it? It's because it is established for camaraderie of the 5 continente they represent (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania). They need to make sure that all of the 5 regions has their own representation in the tournament. That's why Europe and Americas has been given 2 spots compared to others to reward them since most of the powerhouse teams comes from those two continents. Competition is great but a great sense of belongingness unites every continent in the Olympics.

Very disappointing. 6-7 teams from Europe deserve a spot at the Olympics. They should've just gone every team that went to the quarter-finals should've got a qualifying spot for the Olympics. Spots 10-12 (host country excluded) should be the best 3 teams battling it out after losing contention for the podium. Allowing teams to still gain something that doesn't include a podium position.

That’s kind of bad way of qualifying, as Europe has many good teams that are better than others but will be left out, but oceanic only has 2 teams. It would make more sense to make sure the best teams get in there, but I guess it’s better to have more diverse arrange if countries in there.

thank you ive been so confused on this

Ok, qualifying from Europe is quite a task. So many great teams are left out each time.

It will be historical and fun if you include philippines

Philippines to has win two games from different regions likely Egypt and Lativa.

Europe needs to be like two or three regions at least

Am I the only one notice it? Seems like it's unfair, because there is just 2 teams under fiba Oceania?. So it's like Australia will be always qualify for Olympic and too unfair to Europe because there's too many country from europe. If there is just 2 country playing for Oceania they should include this 2 country to participate or play under Fiba Asia or Europe.

Do bash me ah I think it should be change this style of qualifications my proposal idea is each 4 last spots for oqt it should be 1 each (example 1 asia, 1 europe, 1africa, 1 americas)

Ssd usa canada japan at australia sure na PASOK sa olympics france sure din kasi sila ang host

just a way to not have as many good teams to go against the usa

Why 7 teams only. What a stupid format. This should be 16 teams.
