National teams are competing in qualifying tournaments to compete in the FIBA World Cup in 2023.
Meanwhile, it seems that FIBA has imposed a suspension on the Russian national team for the FIBA World Cup qualifying.
FIBA announced on the 1st that it will not allow Russian teams and officials to participate in FIBA basketball and 3×3 basketball games.
The Russian national team, which had been competing in the European qualifying for the 2023 World Cup, was in great shape, with all three wins and the top of Group H.
In addition, Italy, Iceland, and the Netherlands are included in Group H, which is the same as Russia.
Meanwhile, EuroBasket has recently suspended the participation of Russian teams participating in the EuroLeague (CSKA Moscow, UNICS Kazan, Zenito St. Petersburg) and the Russian team of the EuroCup.
Unless the situation in Russia and Ukraine improves, it has been decided to invalidate all regular season matches with the Russian team.
