The basketball qualification for the Summer Olympics men's basketball tournament occurred from 2014 to 2016; all five FIBA (International Basketball Federation) zones sent in teams.

The first qualifying tournament was the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in which the champion was guaranteed of a place in the Olympics. Throughout the next two years, several regional tournaments served as qualification for the zonal tournaments, which doubled as intercontinental championships, to determine which teams would participate in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics.

Method

Qualification via continental championships and World Cup

A total of 12 teams will take part in the Olympics, with each NOC sending in one team.

There were a total of 5 zonal tournaments (doubling as intercontinental championships) that determined the qualifying teams, with a total of 7 teams qualifying outright. Each zone was allocated with the following qualifying berths:

Furthermore, the current world champion, the United States qualified automatically by winning at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

Qualification via hosting the Olympics

The host nation (Brazil) qualified after FIBA voted to allow them to qualify as hosts in a meeting at Tokyo in August 2015.

Qualification via the wild card tournament

The additional three teams will be determined at the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Men, with the best non-qualifying teams participating from teams that did not qualify outright. Each zone was allocated with the following berths:

There would be three tournaments, with the winners in each tournament winning a berth to the Olympics. All teams that are participating in the continental championships are allowed to bid as hosts. If the host team already qualified outright, the next best team from its continent would be invited to participate instead of them.

Qualified teams

Teams are arranged by time of qualification.

FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournaments

Draw

In 2016 three qualifying tournaments, each producing a team which qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics. They were held on 4–10 July 2016 in Turin, Manila and Belgrade.[1] Serbia, Croatia and France qualified for the Olympics as a result of these tournaments.

The format consisted of 18 national teams divided into three tournaments of six teams each, with the winning team from each event qualifying for the Olympics. The draw for the Olympic qualifiers took place at The House of Basketball in Mies, Switzerland on 26 January 2016.[2] The teams were divided into six pots. The draw had three parts. The first part determined in which of the three qualifying tournaments would each team participate, except for the host countries. The second part determined the grouping of each team (Group A or Group B) and the third part determined their position from 1 to 3, which would be used to determine the fixtures.[3]

The teams' FIBA World Rankings on the day of the draw are shown in brackets.[4]
