The 2022 FIBA Asia Cup (formerly known as the FIBA Asia Championship) will be the 30th continental basketball championship in Asia. The tournament is organised by FIBA Asia.

Originally intended to be the 2021 edition, the tournament was initially scheduled to take place between 3 and 15 August 2021,[1] but it was postponed due to 17 to 29 August 2021 to avoid scheduling conflict with the 2020 Summer Olympics which was postponed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] It was later postponed again to 12 to 24 July 2022.[4][5]

Indonesia will be the tournament host for second time after staging the 1993 edition. Australia is the defending champion.

Host selection[]

On 7 October 2020, Indonesian Youth and Sports Minister Zainudin Amali confirmed that FIBA had entrusted Indonesia to host the upcoming Asia Cup in 2021. However, an official announcement by FIBA was yet to be made at that time.[6] On 18 December, FIBA confirmed that the country will host the tournament.[3]

However due to a surge of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia amid the pandemic as of July 2021, FIBA considered postponing the competition to 2022. Jordan has offered to host the tournament as an alternative.[7]

On 23 July 2021, FIBA announced that the Asia Cup was rescheduled to July 2022.[4]

Below is the list of qualified teams to the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers, which began in February 2020. Out of the 24 teams in the qualifiers, only 16 teams will qualify for the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup.

Indonesia qualified by virtue of being confirmed as host on 18 December 2020, although they have entered the qualification process prior to the confirmation of their hosting.[3]
