Draw

The draw for the Olympic qualifiers took place at The House of Basketball in Mies, Switzerland on 26 January 2016.[9] The teams were divided into six pots. The draw had three parts. The first part determined in which of the three qualifying tournaments would each team participate, except for the host countries. The second part determined the grouping of each team (Group A or Group B) and the third part determined their position from 1 to 3, which would be used to determine the fixtures.[11]

  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 Lebanon qualified as fifth placers at the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship with the Philippines named as one of the hosts of the Olympic qualifying tournaments. However, FIBA stated that Lebanon is not "in good standing" or behind in payments with FIBA Asia and the FIBA Executive decided to invite Turkey as replacement taking its FIBA World Ranking and final standings at the 2015 EuroBasket in consideration.[8][9]
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 The venue of the qualifying tournament, the Mall of Asia Arena is in Pasay which is part of Metro Manila.[6] For marketing purposes the host city of the Philippine qualifiers is designated as "Manila"
