How does the FIBA World Cup work?

The tournament will take place across four arenas and each arena will host two groups of four teams.
There are two arenas in the Philippines’ capital city of Manila. The Arneta Coliseum will host Group A featuring Gilas Pilipinas and Serbia in Group B. The Mall of Asia Arena is where Team USA and Greece will battle it out in Group C. Mexico’s ‘12 Guerreros’ are among the four teams looking to advance from Group D.
The beautiful Japanese island of Okinawa is the setting for Group E, seen as the group of death by many, with Germany, Australia, Japan, and Finland all competing for two quarter final places. Many fans will hope to see Slovenian superstar Luka Dončić put on a show in Group F.
Defending Champions, Spain starts their title defence in Jakarta, Indonesia. Among their Group G opponents are two-time title winners, Brazil.

Whether you are a die-hard basketball fan or a casual viewer, this comprehensive guide will provide you with everything you need to know about the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
The History of the FIBA World Cup
The FIBA Basketball World Cup, formerly known as the FIBA World Championship, has evolved into one of the most highly anticipated international basketball tournaments. It features teams from four sporting continents competing to lift The Naismith Trophy, named after the inventor of basketball, James Naismith. The trophy was first awarded to the Soviet Union in 1967, who were the first team from outside the Americas to win the competition. There have only been six different champions since Argentina won on home soil in 1950.
1994 was the first tournament to feature active US NBA players. Held in Canada, the star-studded Team USA roster included basketball icons such as Shaquille O'Neal, Shawn Kemp, and Reggie Miller. They dominated the field, securing the third of five FIBA titles for the Americans. The name FIBA stands for Fédération Internationale de Basketball Amateur, and it was only after this tournament that the competition was deemed fully professional.
In the corresponding years, NBA current and future Hall of Famers such as Paul Pierce, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Steph Curry, Kevin Durrant, Anthony Davis, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Jason Tatum have all competed in the FIBA World Cup.
