The African Championship kicked off the men's basketball championship on five continents for the first time. From August 5th to15th,16th teams will compete for three tickets for the World Championships in Libya.
This 16 team was created in three ways. Libya, the host country, the top three countries in the last African championship-Angola, Cameroon and Cape Verde-all advanced directly. Tunisia, Morocco, Mali, Nigeria, C? te d 'Ivoire, Central Africa, Congo, Egypt, Rwanda and Mozambique all passed the regional qualifiers, while Senegal and South Africa got wild cards.
Prior to this, Angola had won the African championship five times in a row. From 1989 to now, only 1997, they failed to win the African championship, and the remaining nine times, they were champions, and the basketball level far exceeded other African countries.
Argentina and Brazil are in a group.
The United States, which has already qualified for the competition, will not participate in this year's Americas Championship, so the powerful Argentina has become the favorite to win the championship.
* * * A total of 65,438+00 teams participated in the Americas Championship. Since the United States did not participate, Canada was automatically elected as the representative of North America. In addition to Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, Mexico, Dominica and Cuba are also eligible to represent Central America, while South America is represented by Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela.
10 The team is divided into two groups. Argentina and Brazil, the top two countries in South America, are in Group B with Cuba, Dominica and Venezuela.
The competition starts on August 26th and ends on September 6th. The four teams that win in the quarter-finals will automatically qualify for the 20 10 World Championship.
There is great suspense in the hegemony of powerful countries.
The European Championship will be held in Poland on September 7th, and the final of this competition will be held on the 20th. In addition to seeing which six teams can successfully advance to the 20 10 World Championships, who can become the new European champion is also attracting attention.
At present, 16 team has produced 15 team, and the last team will be produced through play-offs in Portugal, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Italy, France and Finland. Italy and France are obviously better than the other four countries. No matter which country qualifies, it will enter Group B. In this group, in addition to defending champion Russia, there are also Germany and Latvia.
Spain, the defending champion of the World Championships, is divided into Group C, and the average strength of this group is also the strongest among all groups, except Serbia and Slovenia, which were independent from the former Yugoslavia that won the World Championships, and Britain, a newly rich European country led by Ruhr Deng.
Group A is the match between Greece and Croatia. The host country Poland is in Group D, and this group also includes Turkey, the host country of the World Championships, and powerful Lithuania.
The top three in each group entered the second stage, and the results of the group stage were brought into the second stage. The top three of Group A and Group B will form Group E, the top three of Group C and Group D will form Group F, and then the competition will be held. The top four of Group E and Group F will cross into the quarter-finals. The top six players in this competition will qualify for the 20 10 World Championships in Turkey. If Turkey enters the top six, the seventh place will qualify for the World Championships.
ANZ qualifying is a foregone conclusion.
The Oceania Championship will be held in Wellington, New Zealand from August 3rd to September 2nd. This is not so much the Oceania championship as the competition between Australia and New Zealand. Only these two countries participated in the previous three consecutive championships in Oceania, and Australia won the final victory. Although the competition has not yet started, it is certain that Australia and New Zealand will get tickets for the 20 10 World Championships.
Europe is expected to grab three tickets.
At the end of 2009, the FIBA Central Bureau will determine four teams supporting wild cards to participate in the 20 10 World Championship in Turkey. Countries that meet the requirements for obtaining wild cards must be teams that participated in the 2009 Intercontinental Championships, and at most three teams in a continent can obtain wild cards.
In addition to meeting the above two hard conditions, the FIBA Central Bureau will also screen from both competitive and economic aspects. In terms of competition, we will consider the popularity of basketball in China, the level of the national team, the results of the competition, and the quality of the basketball association's work in China. Economically, it pays attention to local TV stations of domestic or international basketball matches, important marketing and TV partners of FIBA, and important organizers of world championships.
Judging from the above conditions, European teams with strong competitive level and economic strength are expected to get the most wild cards.
