Iran Out of FIBA U-17 Basketball World Cup
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran has been out of the FIBA U-17 Basketball World Cup following the cancellation of the FIBA U-16 Asia Championship.
The competition was originally scheduled to take place in Tehran but FIBA decided to change the host and Beirut was named to entertain the competition.
FIBA, at last, canceled the competition to stop the spread of coronavirus outbreak.
Following the cancellation of the Championship, the qualification of the Asia/Oceania teams was based on the FIBA World Ranking Youth Men, with Australia, China and Korea claiming berths as the three best-ranked countries.
