Guinea will be in the second round of the qualifiers for the 2023 FIBA World Cup (between February and March 2022). The Syli owes its qualification to its victory last Friday against the Central African Republic. But also the defeat of the same team against Angola this Sunday, November 28, 2021. After three defeats in as many games, it is over for the Central Africans in these playoffs which have only just started with this first window.
For its part, Guinea, by finishing third in Group C behind Côte d’Ivoire and Angola, is guaranteed to be among the 12 best teams in Africa. ” Even if there is still a long way to go, it must be recognized that Guinean basketball has reached a milestone on the continent. This qualification confirms the good health of our basketball ”, reacted the president of the Guinean Basketball Federation to this qualification.
The top 12 nations on the continent will be divided into two groups of six teams. The two best of each group, plus the best third of the two groups will be the representatives of Africa at this World Cup co-organized by three Asian countries (Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines). We must wait until August 2022 (5th window) and February 2023 (6th window) to know these five nations. From here, Pools B and D must provide their top three teams during the third (February – March 2022) and fourth window (June – July 2022).
