Women's National Team Competition System

 

Coming into effect in November 2019, this system sets out the road to all of FIBA's main women's competitions over a four-year cycle: the Women's Olympic Basketball Tournament, the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup and the FIBA Women's Continental Cups.

Following an extraordinary meeting of the FIBA Executive Committee concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on FIBA competitions, the FIBA Calendar was updated in April 2020.

 


Key Changes

  • Qualification for the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup through the Qualifying Tournaments instead of through the FIBA Women's Continental Cups, which become stand-alone events. 
  • The final standings at the previous edition of the Women’s Continental Cups determine which teams participate in the Pre-Qualifying Tournaments in three regions (Africa, Asia-Oceania and Americas*), for both Olympic Games and Women's World Cup.
  • Olympic Games 2020 qualification to be played as tournaments, with Pre-Qualifying Tournaments played in three regions (Africa, Asia-Oceania and Americas*) and 4 global FIBA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments 2020 (WOQTs) after.
  • Four global FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2022 Qualifying Tournaments to qualify 12 teams to women's basketball main event. In accordance to the April 2020 update of the FIBA Calendar, teams will secure berths in the qualifying tournaments directly via their respective FIBA Women's Continental Cups 2021.
  • The host of the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2022, Australia, and the winner of the Women's Olympic Basketball Tournament from the Tokyo Olympic Games, USA, will participate in those qualifiers, however, they do receive automatic qualification for the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2022.
  • In 2022 FIBA’s Executive Committee approved the implementation of a new competition that will act as pre-qualifiers to the next World Cup or to the next Olympic Games. The 16 best-placed teams, four from each region, that did not qualify for the FIBA Women's World Cup, or the Olympic Games respectively, will participate in the event to be played every two years starting in August 2024. The winner of this competition will directly qualify for the next Qualification Tournament, either for the World Cup or Olympic Games.
  • Shortly following the Executive Committee's decision to implement the new pre-qualifiers competition, FIBA’s Central Board approved the expansion of the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2026 to 16 teams, and the roster of the Women's World Cup Qualifiers to 24 teams qualified from the respective Continental Cups 2025.
