This year’s Basketball World Cup, held once every four years, is co-hosted by three countries: the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan.
Founded in 1950, this year is the first time that more than two countries co-host this event.
32 countries participated and were divided into 8 groups to hold a group stage,

Groups A to D will play in the Philippines, while Groups E and F will play in Okinawa, Japan.

Eight Asian countries will participate, including hosts Japan and the Philippines, as well as Australia, China, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon and New Zealand.
World Cup Finals
Indonesia, one of the co-hosts, had to reach the quarterfinals of the 2022 Asian Cup to qualify for the World Cup finals as a host country,
but fell short of this standard, making it the first host country in history to not play in the finals.
Korea, which has recently been on the stage for two consecutive finals,
cannot participate in the finals of this year’s Basketball World Cup due to a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
In the 2019 World Cup finals held in China, Korea suffered all three losses in the group stage,
but defeated Côte d’Ivoire 80-71 in the 17th to 32nd place rankings and won the Basketball World Cup finals victory in 25 years.

In 2019, the U.S., which aimed for three consecutive victories, lost to France 79-89 in the quarterfinals and stayed in 7th place,
