ROME – As in the last World Cup, Italy could find Serbia and Puerto Rico again in the basketball pre-Olympic round which will take place from June 23rd to 28th 2020. The Azzurri, in fact, were included by Fiba, based on the ranking, in the second band together to Brazil, Poland and Czech Rep. In band 1 there are the 4 most formidable formations, given that only the winners of 4 rounds will be formed at the Games: besides Serbia, Lithuania, Greece and Russia have been included. In category 3 there are Croatia, Turkey, Slovenia and Puerto Rico. Band 4 consists of Canada, Germany, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, band 5 from New Zealand, Mexico, China and South Korea, band 6, finally from Angola, Tunisia, Senegal, Uruguay. The draw will take place next Wednesday 27 November at Mies (2.00 pm, live streaming on the FIBA ​​YouTube channel and on the FIBA ​​Facebook page).

In Tokyo there are only 4 of them: Victoria, Split, Kaunas and Belgrade the offices

Of the 24 teams admitted to the tournament, 16 are the ones that were best placed, per continent, at the World Cup last summer. The other 8 formations (Slovenia, Croatia, Mexico, Uruguay, Angola, Senegal, China, South Korea) were admitted by Fiba based on the ranking with geographical criteria. The 6 teams of each group will be divided into 2 rounds of 3. The first 2 will go ahead and compete in crossed semifinals. The two winners, then, will play the final that is worth a place in Tokyo 2020. The ideal for the Azzurri would be to avoid, in addition to Serbia, also Croatia, Lithuania and Canada since the cities that will host the four tournaments are Victoria (Canada) , Split (Croatia), Kaunas (Lithuania) and Belgrade (Serbia). Japan (host country), Spain, Argentina, France, Australia, USA, Nigeria and Iran have already qualified for the Games.
