Qualification

According to the FIBA Asia rules, the number of participating teams in the 2014 FIBA Asia Cup is ten (10). Each zone had one place, and the hosts (China) and the defending FIBA Asia Championship titleholder (Iran) were automatically qualified. The other two places were allocated to the zones according to performance in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship; as a result, Southeast Asia and East Asia zones were allocated an additional berth each.

In the event of a withdrawal or non-participation by qualified teams, FIBA Asia has the right to invite other teams, while endeavoring to maintain, as far as possible, a certain balance between Sub-Zones.

Included are teams' FIBA World Ranking prior to the tournament.

Notes:

  •  Philippines (ranked 34th) selected as a wild card for replacement of a team from the Gulf sub-zone.
  •  Uzbekistan (ranked 71st) withdrew, leaving four teams in Group B. They were not replaced.

    The draw was held on June 8, 2014 at Wuhan Sports Center in Wuhan, Hubei, China.
