2019 FIBA U16 Asian Championship (Cancelled)
The 2019 FIBA U16 Asian Championship was meant to be FIBA Asia’s qualifying tournament for the 2020 FIBA Under-17 Basketball World Cup. It was planned to take place in Beirut, Lebanon, from April 5 to 12, 2020, with 16 teams competing at a single venue.
Format details:
- The host nation (Lebanon) and the defending champions would automatically qualify.
- Each FIBA Asia subzone would receive two berths, except Central and South Asia, which had one berth each.
- FIBA Oceania received one berth.
- The last three berths were allocated to subzones based on results from the 2017 U16 Championship.
- The top four teams would have advanced to the 2020 World Cup in Bulgaria.
Both the Asian Championship and the World Cup were cancelled by FIBA due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
