Qualification
Draw
The draw for the Olympic qualifiers took place at The House of Basketball in Mies, Switzerland on 26 January 2016.[9] The teams were divided into six pots. The draw had three parts. The first part determined in which of the three qualifying tournaments would each team participate, except for the host countries. The second part determined the grouping of each team (Group A or Group B) and the third part determined their position from 1 to 3, which would be used to determine the fixtures.[11]
The teams' FIBA World Rankings on the day of the draw are shown in brackets.[12]
