Decisions concerning the February window of the FIBA AfroBasket 2021 Qualifiers

FIBA has taken the following decisions regarding Equatorial Guinea and Uganda concerning the February 2021 window of the FIBA AfroBasket 2021 Qualifiers:

Following the non-appearance of Equatorial Guinea in their game against Cameroon on February 19, 2021 due to the late arrival of the delegation of Equatorial Guinea in Yaounde, the game has been forfeited in favor of Cameroon.

The decision is based upon the unjustified late arrival of the Equatorial Guinea delegation in Yaounde, the related inobservance of the relevant provisions of the FIBA COVID-19 Protocol and the FIBA AfroBasket 2021 Qualifiers Handbook that lead to the failure to appear at the game at the scheduled time and place.

Taking the ruling into consideration, the following teams from Group C are qualified for FIBA AfroBasket 2021: Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Guinea.

Following the postponement of Uganda's games in application of the COVID-19 Protocol for FIBA Official National Team and Club Competitions and the advice of its Medical Commission, the pending Group E Uganda games, Uganda - Egypt, Morocco - Uganda and Cape Verde - Uganda, will be played between June 15 and July 15, 2021 at a venue to be decided.
