EuroBasket 2017 qualification
Contributors to Wikimedia projects
This article describes the qualification procedure for EuroBasket 2017.
Qualification format
All teams which didn't qualify yet for EuroBasket 2017 were divided into six groups of four teams and one more of three. The winners of each group and the four best second-placed teams qualified for the final tournament.[1]
Kosovo made its first international appearance while Albania and Cyprus came back to the competition after absenting from the last edition.
Russian Basketball Federation was suspended by FIBA in July 2015,[2] but later their membership was restored in November 2015.[3]
In the qualifying round, 27 teams were drawn into six groups of four teams and one group of three teams. The winners of each group and the four best second-placed teams qualified for EuroBasket 2017. The games were played between 31 August and 17 September 2016.[4]
Teams were seeded following the results in the last EuroBasket or qualifiers.[5]
