2015 FIBA Americas Championship qualification
The qualification for the 2015 FIBA Americas Championship in Mexico was held as early as 2013 until 2014. There are several stages of qualification for some teams. Aside from the 2015 FIBA Americas Championship, the tournaments also doubled as qualifiers for basketball at the 2015 Pan-American Games.
Qualification format
[edit | edit source]Each FIBA Americas subzone has a specific number of berths, generally based on the relative strengths of its member national teams. For the 2013 FIBA Americas Championship, the berths distribution is:
| Zone | Total berths |
|---|---|
| North America | 2 |
| Central America and Caribbean | 4 |
| South America | 3 |
| Host team | 1 |
| Total | 10 |
North America
[edit | edit source]For the North American zone, since there are only 2 member teams (Canada and the United States) and there are 2 berths, no qualification games are necessary. Furthermore, since the United States won the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup and automatically qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics, they withdrew from the FIBA Americas Championship. Their non-participation opened up an extra berth, which was awarded to the fourth placed team in the South American Basketball Championship 2014.
Central America and Caribbean
[edit | edit source]Some teams from the Central America and Caribbean Commission Zone had to qualify for the 2014 Centrobasket. The qualifying tournament was the 2014 FIBA CBC Championship for Caribbean teams, and the 2013 FIBA COCABA Championship for teams from Mexico and Central America. The top four teams from the 2014 Centrobasket advance to the FIBA Americas Championship; host country Mexico automatically qualified.
South America
[edit | edit source]The 2014 South American Basketball Championship determined the teams that will qualify for 2015 FIBA Americas Championship. Since the USA is skipping this tournament, this opened up an additional berth for South American teams, increasing the number of berths from three to four.
2013 FIBA COCABA Championship
[edit | edit source]The 2013 FIBA COCABA Championship in El Salvador serves as the qualifier for the 2014 Centrobasket for Central American national teams. The top three advance to the Centrobasket.
