World Basketball Cup 2019 – the 18th world basketball cup among men's national teams, held under the auspices of FIBA. According to the voting results of FIBA Commission members, it was determined that the tournament will be held in China.

Now, to get to the World Cup national teams will have to go through the qualifying tournaments in the regional zones. Within the organization there are five FIBA continental zones: FIBA America, FIBA Europe, FIBA Africa, FIBA Asia and FIBA Oceania. But now Asia and Oceania hold tournaments together, and also FIBA Oceania was removed from the official rating of the national teams, and all the teams of this region were included in the rating of Asia. Thus, 80 national teams from four geographical zones: America, Europe, Africa and Asia/Oceania participate in the qualification. China, as the host country, passed the championship automatically, but at the same time, participates in the Asian qualification. For the first time permits are played not on continental superiority in one of the countries, and during a full qualifying cycle, games with traveling.

Recall that at the end of the first round, the national team of Kazakhstan went to the second stage of Asian Qualification, taking second place in group D, gaining 9 points. The teams that took the last places in their groups left the tournament, and the four groups of the first round form two groups of six teams in each group. Thus, groups B and D form group F, and our rivals in the second round are the teams of Australia, the Philippines and Japan. The results of the first round matches are taken into account in the second, and therefore our team will no longer play with Iran and Qatar. The teams will held two meetings, at home and at the guests, only with those teams that didn’t meet in the first round.
