The top scorer of the match was Canadian Dillon Brooks (39 points).
Canadians have never won a World Cup medal before. The team’s best achievement was sixth place (1982, 1986). The American team remains without an award for the second consecutive cup. In 2019, the Americans failed to advance past the quarterfinals of the tournament, losing to the French national team.
The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) World Cup was previously called the world championships. The most successful teams are the United States and Serbia, winning the tournament five times each. The reigning winner of the World Cup is the Spanish team, which in the final of the 2019 tournament beat the Argentine national team 95-75. The Russian national team was twice the silver medalist of the tournament (1994, 1998).
On March 1, 2022, FIBA temporarily suspended Russian and Belarusian teams and clubs from participation in competitions under the auspices of the organization due to the situation in Ukraine. National teams were excluded from participation in the World Cup qualifying tournament.
