The 2024 FIBA Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments were basketball tournaments contested by 24 national teams, where the four top teams earned a place in the 2024 Summer Olympics basketball tournament.[1] They took place from 2 to 7 July 2024 in Greece, Latvia, Puerto Rico, and Spain.[2]
Brazil, Greece, Puerto Rico and Spain qualified for the Olympics.[3]
Teams
The FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments included the 16 best-placed non-qualified teams from the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup and three highest-ranked countries per region in the FIBA World Ranking.
The draw for the Olympic qualifiers took place in Mies, Switzerland on 27 November 2023 (19:00 CET).[1][4]
Seeding
The latest ranking before the draw served as the basis to determine the pots for the draw (seeding in brackets).[1][5]
There were four tournaments, with teams to be drawn into two groups of three teams per tournament. Group As drew teams from pots 1, 4, 5, while Group Bs had teams from pots 2, 3, 6.[1]
Also for "geographical balance" purposes, a group could only have a maximum of two European teams and one Americas team. Each tournament could only have a maximum of three European teams, one Asia or Oceania team, and one African team.[1]
