Basketball at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's 3x3 qualification

Last updated

The men's 3x3 qualification for the Olympic basketball tournament will occur between November 2022 and June 2024, [2] allocating eight teams for the final tournament.

Contents

Three quota places will be awarded to the top-ranked teams, including the host nation France, based on the total points calculated in the FIBA 3x3 Ranking List of 1 November 2023, with the remainder attributed to the eligible NOCs in separate wildcard tournaments (two winners of the universality-driven Olympic qualifying tournaments and the top three of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament). [3]

Method

Eight teams will participate in the men's basketball tournament, with each NOC sending a roster of 3 players and a substitute.

Host nation

As the host nation, France reserves a quota place in the men's 3x3 basketball subject to the FIBA 3x3 Ranking List of 1 November 2023. If the host country fails to enter the team within the ranking list, the number of teams qualified through the regular process shall be increased accordingly. [3]

Qualification via world rankings

Similar to the 2021 format, the top three teams (two if France obtains the host quota place in the men's tournament) on the FIBA 3x3 men's basketball ranking list on 1 November 2023, will qualify for the Olympics. These rankings are also used to determine entrants to both the OQT and UOQT. [3]

Qualification via the wild card tournaments

The five remaining quota places are attributed to the eligible NOCs, including the host nation France if unqualified, through three separate wildcard tournaments: two universality-driven Olympic qualifying tournaments (UOQT) and the FIBA Olympic qualifying tournament (OQT). Teams will be selected based on the following criteria: [3]
