BEIRUT (Lebanon) – The draw for the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 will be held at the host city – Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on April 8, 2025. Jeddah will host FIBA Asia’s flagship event from Aug 5 to 17, this year.
The FIBA Asia Cup is FIBA’s flagship for men’s National Teams in Asia. Played once every four years the event features 16 best teams across Asia and Oceania.
First played in 1960, the FIBA Asia Cup has evolved over the decades and is the pinnacle of men's basketball in Asia.
The 16 teams come through the Qualifiers competition played over three Windows – spread across a year and half – in a home-away format. The 16 teams also go on to play the ensuing FIBA World Cup Qualifiers for the Asia-Oceania region.
Saudi Arabia, by virtue of being the hosts, have qualified automatically.
Twice defending champions Australia, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, New Zealand and Philippines have booked their ticket to Jeddah by virtue of their results in the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Qualifiers.
The other teams will be known following the Window 3 of the Qualifiers to be played later this month and the two additional Qualifying tournaments slated for March 2025.
