Schedule confirmed for FIBA Asia Cup 2021 Qualifiers November window

BEIRUT (Lebanon) - The game schedule has been confirmed for the upcoming window of the FIBA Asia Cup 2021 Qualifiers.

Taking place between November 27 and 30, the games will be played in protected environment tournaments (bubbles) in order to ensure the health and safety of all participants.

Games of Groups A and D will be played in Bahrain and games of Group E will be played in Doha, Qatar.

Games of groups B, C and F and of the Korea national team will not be played during this November window.

The next and final window of the FIBA Asia Cup 2021 Qualifiers will take place from 18-22 February 2021. The top two teams in the standings of each of the six groups at the end of the Qualifiers will qualify directly for FIBA Asia Cup 2021. The third-placed teams in each group will then proceed to play in a separate tournament to determine the remaining four teams that will complete the 16-team field of FIBA Asia Cup 2021.   

The decision to play both the November and February windows in bubbles, instead of home and away games, was taken by the FIBA Executive Committee in September. FIBA will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and communicate any further updates regarding its competitions if necessary.
