I’ll be honest, I didn’t see that announcement coming. Although, the tournament gets underway right as the professional season starts. Plus, many college athletes will be training with their teams by then. Both countries might just have a lack of available players.

 

Any idea which NOCs will get the reallocated quotas?

 could have had legitimate medal hopes in women’s basketball, but the federation blew all of their cash on the useless men’s team

I know they will give the women's football spot to a CONCACAF nation (Panama?), but I think they should give it to Brazil. Our team is the same level of those or worse...
