The 2022 FIBA Micronesian Cup was the inaugural edition of the FIBA Micronesian Cup, an international men's basketball tournament contested by national teams of Micronesian sub-zone of FIBA Oceania. It was played in Mangilao, Guam, from 8 to 11 June 2022. The hosting has been awarded by FIBA following the decision to postpone the 2022 Micronesian Games to 2023, which was the qualification phase for 2023 Pacific Games. [1] [2]

This tournament also served as the sub-regional qualification for the men's basketball event of the 2023 Pacific Games in Solomon Islands with one berth allocated in this tournament, which serves as the official qualifier to the FIBA Asia Cup Pre-Qualifiers. [1] [2]

Guam won the tournament by sweeping all of their opponents en route to the championship, enabling them to become the representative of Micronesian sub-zone in the men's basketball tournament of the 2023 Pacific Games. [3] [4]

Participating teams

Initially there are seven teams that were supposed to participate in the competition. On 24 March, Marshall Islands and Kiribati has sent their apologies as they will not be able to participate due to travel restrictions imposed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The remaining four teams later confirmed their participation. [5]
