Mexico qualified to 2019 PanAm Games in men's basketball, after its 2nd win in Group A of AmeriCup... this ensures, they at least finish as 2nd in their group.

With Canada's loss (and likely losses to both Argentina and Venezuela) both the defending gold and silver medalists from the Pan American Games will not be back to defend their titles in 2019.

Incredible, has now qualified 24 athletes for Lima 2019, their team size for Toronto 2015 was just 16 athletes.
