Wait, so can someone please explain to me why the US and Japan are playing in the qualification tournaments? This makes absolutely no sense to me

It's one of the medium-level nonsenses in the Olympic qualification systems. Are we not used to them? :p

Yes, FIBA seems to break the bank in this cycle. Still all those 3x3 absurds are much worse.

Absolutely, I was just thinking that myself. They truly have made complete fools of themselves in this cycle

The system was designed to give more meaningful International matches to all teams going to the Olympics in 2020. That’s why every teams, even Japan and the US, are participating in the final qualification tournament.

 

It’s somehow the most sensible of FIBA’s four qualification systems for these Olympics so I am not inclined to complain too much...

Can teams be drawn with teams from the same confederation?

Yes, because of the continental representation.

c'mon! the USA are playing these tournaments with 5th tier players (and still dominating), Japan are playing with their best team, but they are so poor that they don't need this kind of help to suddenly become a mid-rank placings contender (not to mention the medal candidates being on another planet)...

 

this qualification system is just a farce (the 3X3 B'Ball system instead is a pure cheat)...

    • Papszun took over in December when Legia was in 17th place already. Edward Iordanescu started the season and former player Inaki Astiz was a caretaker for two months. This duo combined for a club record 12 match winless streak that dropped Legia to relegation zone. The club's previous worst streak was 11 matches in 1966 
    • With the halved swimming distance, the one point drop is now every 0.2s instead of 0.5s.
    • Unbelievable mess in Men's Ski Cross final in  today. Big crash & 3 riders were DNF. The only finisher was relegated for causing the crash, so the winner was the DNF guy who got furthest down the hill!  
    • Papszun led Legia to the relegation zone? Pioli did the same with Fiorentina this season, but he was fired long time ago.

    • I told you , the lobby of Satanyahu controles your countries        French ICC Judge Nicolas Guillou is living a nightmare after the US sanctioned him and other judges for issuing an arrest warrant against  Prime Minister Saranyahu  https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/02/18/us-sanctions-turn-international-criminal-court-judges-daily-life-into-a-nightmare  
    • Yes, that's Haaland's cousin Braut Brunes. If he has a bad day Raków is usually scrapping for 1-0 victory unless they concede a goal. Ivi Lopez is the playmaker but he's not as sharp since an injury last season.   Lech & Jagiellonia are the two strongest clubs right now, Raków probably #3. I discount league surprises and of course Legia which is stuck in relegation zone 
    • On transfermarkt, Raków is worth 42 million euros and Jagiellonia only 32, but it is known that this is only a theory. On paper, the most valuable clubs in Poland are Lech and Raków: €42 million each. Raków have a strong Norwegian attacker from what I can see on internet.
    • Fiorentina gets another  club Raków Czestochowa in R16     Raków manager Marek Papszun moved to Legia lately and the club is slightly less demanding than Jagiellonia IMO. They're unlikely to score more than 1-2 goals in a game even in our league but have a better defense.
