Key decisions highlight last FIBA Executive Committee of the 2014-2019 cycle


28/06/2019 PRESS RELEASE

MIES, Switzerland - FIBA's Executive Committee met on Friday at the Patrick
Baumann House of Basketball. It was the last meeting of the 2014-2019 cycle.

With only 63 days to go to the first game of the FIBA Basketball World Cup
2019 in Beijing, the Central Board received a detailed update on the final
preparation works for FIBA's flagship event, including the promotional,
operational and commercial aspects. Set to feature a record 32 national
teams, the FIBA Basketball World Cup will be played in eight Chinese cities
from August 31 to September 15.

Here are the main decisions taken by the Executive Committee during its
meeting.


FIBA Continental Cup Qualifiers 2021

The Executive Committee received an assessment on the FIBA Basketball World
Cup Qualifiers based on a research from an independent sports consultancy. It
confirmed the success of the first ever Qualifiers on three key aspects like
attendance, media coverage and interest from fans around the globe.

The research shows that the 420 games attracted 1.7 million fans to 157
arenas around the world, resulting in 157 sold-out games and an average arena
occupancy of 68 percent. The format attracted big crowds on all continents
with, for example, 23,500 watching the Philippines play Australia in Manila,
12,167 in Helsinki for the clash between Finland and France, 11,000 for the
African game between Angola and Egypt and 10,550 for Brazil versus Chile.

Significantly, live TV coverage in more than 150 markets was supplemented by
a social media reach of 2.2 billion, with 591 million impressions and 7.5
million engagements across all platforms, as well as a total of 429 million
video views.

It was not only the committed basketball fans who enjoyed the Qualifiers. The
study shows that over 63 million fans who do not watch other basketball games
made a point of following the Qualifiers, resulting in significant fanbase
growth in all areas.

Following requests by National Federations from Americas and Europe, and
after consultation with ULEB, the Executive Committee has reviewed the
calendar for the Continental Cups 2021 Qualifiers. Taking into consideration:

根據美洲及歐洲的國家籃協要求並與ULEB會商後，重新檢視了2021洲際盃的日程，並考量
以下幾點：

˙The number of games needed to qualify for the Continental Cups 2021 (6 games)
and the number of windows initially scheduled (four: November 2019, February
and November 2020, February 2021);
˙The tremendous impact generated by having two games of the National team
during every window of the World Cup Qualifiers, acting as a multiplier and
creating a positive effect in the countries where those games are played;
˙The heavy workload and condensed calendar for players during the 2019-20
season due to the early start of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games;

原定的洲際盃資格賽日程及2020東京奧運將會對要參與這些賽事的球員在2019-20賽季
造成過大的負擔

the Executive Committee decided to optimize the Continental Cups 2021
Qualifiers, by having all teams play two official games during each window of
the Qualifiers. As a result, the qualifier game from the November 2019 window
will be rescheduled so that the Qualifiers will start in February 2020,
continue in November 2020 and February 2021, with two games played by each
team in every window. This rescheduling applies only to Continental Cups 2021
Qualifiers and will not impact future FIBA Basketball World Cup and
Continental Cup Qualifiers.

原定2019年11月進行的洲際盃資格賽第一窗口將重新訂定日程。洲際盃資格賽重訂的日程

三個窗口將在2020/2、2020/11、2021/2進行，每支球隊每個窗口將進行兩場比賽。這次

重新訂定日程僅適用於2021的洲際盃資格賽，不會影響往後的世界盃和洲際盃資格賽。

This new schedule will further reduce the workload of players, optimize the
logistics and costs for National Federations, and allow more space for the
national leagues in an exceptionally condensed season before the Olympic
Games.


Olympic Qualifying Tournaments

The Executive Committee also discussed the qualification for the Tokyo 2020
Olympic Games.

The FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 will qualify directly 7 teams to the Tokyo
2020 Olympic Games while the 16 next best classified teams at the World Cup
will get the chance of qualifying through the FIBA Olympic Qualifying
Tournaments. The Executive Committee has confirmed the sporting criteria for
the selection of the two additional teams per region to complete the lineup
of a total of 24 teams (4 tournaments of 6 teams each) for the FIBA Olympic
Qualifying Tournaments.

2019世界盃將會直接產生七隻取得2020東京奧運門票的球隊，另外有16隻最好的球隊將

獲得2020奧運資格賽的門票。確認了另外每個區域各2隻球隊能取得奧運資格賽參賽權的

決定方式。

The FIBA World Ranking Men, presented by NIKE, published after the FIBA
Basketball World Cup will determine those 8 teams: The two best-ranked teams
per Region (Africa, Americas, Asia-Oceania and Europe) who are not already
qualified directly for Tokyo 2020 or for the Olympic Qualifying Tournaments
will be selected to play in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments.

將由FIBA排名決定額外的8隻隊伍。每個區域(非洲、美洲、亞洲─大洋洲、歐洲)尚未取得

2020東京奧運及奧運資格賽的球隊中FIBA排名最高的兩隊將取得奧運資格賽的門票。


3x3

The Executive Committee received an update on the start of the season,
highlighting the success of the FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2019 that took place last
week in Amsterdam and on the 3x3 Tokyo 2020 Olympics preparations.


Other important matters included:

The Executive Committee confirmed the date of the next FIBA InterContinental
Cup for 7-9 February 2020.It received a report on all five Zone Assemblies
that took place in the last two months.
