60-team lineup complete for Second Round of FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Qualifiers

MIES (Switzerland) - All 60 teams that will compete in the Second Round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Qualifiers are now known following the completion of the third window.

46 of the teams that have advanced to the Second Round also played in the Second Round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Qualifiers.

Additionally, nine teams have made it to the Second Round for the first time after being eliminated from the First Round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Qualifiers.

Those teams are DR Congo and Guinea from the African Qualifiers; Belgium, Great Britain, Sweden, and Iceland from the European Qualifiers; India from the Asian Qualifiers; and Bahamas and Colombia from the Americas Qualifiers.

Four teams have made it to the Second Round in their first ever appearance in the World Cup Qualifiers which are Cape Verde and South Sudan from the African Qualifiers; and Saudi Arabia and Bahrain from the Asian Qualifiers.

Among the teams that will be playing in the Second Round, only five remain undefeated including Canada, Cote d'Ivoire, South Sudan, Australia, and New Zealand. These teams will have a slight advantage as all First Round results carry over to Second Round. None of the teams in the European Qualifiers enter the Second Round undefeated.

All results from all games in the First Round - including those against teams that were eliminated - carry over to the Second Round.

Here is how the Second Round shapes up:
