Mondo Sports Updated on 2024-02-11

As far as I know, FIBA and Olympic organizers regularly update the eligibility rules for Olympic basketball competitions. For the men's basketball competition at Paris 2024, there may be some changes to the specific selection rules, but they usually include the following:

1.Qualifiers: Qualification for the Olympic men's basketball team is usually obtained through qualifiers. These competitions may be held in the years leading up to the Olympics, and basketball teams from various countries and regions use these competitions to compete for qualification for the Olympics.

2.Hosts: The host country of the Olympics usually automatically qualifies, and if there are no other special rules, France's men's basketball team will automatically participate as the host of the 2024 Games.

3.World Ranking: FIBA's world ranking is also a factor in determining eligibility. Usually, the higher-ranked teams qualify directly, while the lower-ranked teams need to go through a qualifying tournament to fight for the final spot.

4.Continental Tournaments: Basketball tournaments on each continent also offer a place to participate in the Olympic Games. Champion teams from some continents may qualify directly, while teams from other continents may need to pass additional qualifiers.

5.Olympic Qualification Tournaments: In some cases, there may be dedicated Olympic Qualification Tournaments to determine the final quota places.

6.African and Asian quotas: Teams from Africa and Asia often compete for a place at the Olympics through qualifying tournaments within their respective regions.

7.Americas Spots: Teams in the Americas, such as the United States, Canada, etc., usually qualify directly or through the Americas Basketball Tournament.

Please note that these rules are subject to change as decisions are made by FIBA and the Olympic Games, so it is advisable to keep an eye on the latest information released by the authorities for the exact rules for the qualification of the men's basketball team at Paris 2024.
