Saudi Arabia is hosting the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup, and the venue is in Jeddah. At the moment, seven teams have qualified for the upcoming matches, and nine teams remain. The tournament’s format is round-robin.
Before the tournament begins, a pre-qualifying and a qualifying round takes place. The pre-qualifying round consists of the teams that did not participate in the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup. This round determines the teams that will advance to the qualifying round.
The qualifying round already had the teams from the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup, which later included the teams from the pre-qualifying round. The pre-qualifying rounds witnessed eighteen participating teams, whereas the qualifying round had sixteen.
There are thirty participants in the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup, which will narrow down to the sixteen essential teams. However, the math may not add up because Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, and Cambodia withdrew from the tournament during the qualifications.
