1986, the World Championship will have 24 competing nations, an increase from 16. As a result, the groups are each playing in different cities, with the knockout round being hosted by
Istanbul.

Venues
Below is a list of the confirmed venues which will be used to host games during the 2010 FIBA World Championship. All games of a preliminary round group will be held in a single arena, as well as the games in the knockout round.
Qualifying
Qualified countries are in green; those in red failed to qualify, those in purple did not enter qualifying.
is automatic qualifier as the host country. The
USA also received an automatic berth for winning the
2008 Olympic Men's Basketball Tournament.
Most other teams secured their places in continental qualifying tournaments (three from
Africa, three from
Asia, two from
Oceania, four from the
Americas, and six from
Europe). FIBA invited four "wild card" teams to fill out the twenty-four team field.
List of qualified teams
The following 24 teams qualified for the final tournament.
Wild cards
The four
wild cards were determined by
FIBA through criteria. For example, a team must have played in the Zone's qualification tournament to receive recommendation.
[3] Also, in order for every team to have an opportunity for a wild card, a maximum of three teams from any Zone can be allotted a wild card entry. Once these requirements are satisfied, FIBA then looks at other important factors. Those include popularity of basketball within the country, success of the team, and government support for the team's National Federation. As of 2009, FIBA now requires that wild card candidates pay a late registration fee to be considered.
[4]
Fourteen teams paid the 500,000 € fee to apply for one of the four wild card spots. FIBA then whittled down the teams to eight semifinalists -
Cameroon,
Germany,
Great Britain,
Korea,
Lebanon,
Lithuania,
Nigeria, and
Russia.
[5] On Saturday, December 12, FIBA awarded Germany, Lebanon, Lithuania and Russia the four wild cards.

Group Draw

Squads
