Twelve teams qualified for the women's basketball at the 2020 Summer Olympics tournament (postponed to 2021[1] due to the COVID-19 pandemic). The host nation and the 2018 World Cup winner qualified. Those two teams, however, had to play in the pre-qualifying and qualifying tournaments and took one of the qualifying spots from those tournaments. Thus, while two of the World Qualifying Tournaments provided quota spots to their three top teams, the other two tournaments provided quota spots only to the top two teams plus either the host nation or the World Cup winner.[2]

Teams had to qualify for the Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments through Women's EuroBasket or Pre-Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (which themselves must be qualified for through Continental Cups).

Qualification

[edit]

The cities of Ostend, Bourges, Belgrade, and Foshan had been awarded the hosting rights of the four FIBA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments, from 6 to 9 February 2020.[3] However, the Foshan tournament was moved to Belgrade due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Asia/Oceania

[edit]

Asia/Oceania pre-qualifying tournaments

[edit]

The eight teams which took part in the 2019 FIBA Women's Asia Cup, including Olympic host Japan, played in two Asia/Oceania pre-qualifying tournaments,[11] with four teams in each tournament. For the tournament in which Japan plays, Japan and the best other team advanced to the WOQTs. For the other tournament, the top two teams advanced.

The 2019 FIBA Women's Asia Cup was planned to have two divisions, Division A and B. Under the original set-up, only the top seven teams of Division A and the top team of Division B would have advanced to the Asia/Oceania qualifiers. However, Division B of was not held since there was no nation willing to host the tournament, and India which placed last in the FIBA Women's Asia Cup were given a slot in the Asia/Oceania qualifiers.[11]

The draw was held on 28 September 2019.[12] The tournaments were held in New Zealand and Malaysia.[6][13]
