[align=justify]Only the champion of the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship will have his ticket secured for the 2008 Olympic Basketball Tournament for Men in Beijing. If China will be the champion, then this right goes to the Vice-Champion, as China is already qualified as host team.
But for those who will not reach the Final in Tokushima, Japan on 5th of August, there will be a second chance for two teams from Asia in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Men. This tournament will be played from 7th – 13th July 2008 in a country and city still to be decided. FIBA will make this decision in December 2007.
The two Asian teams for the 2008 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Men will be the two best placed teams of the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship in Japan after the champion and excluding China.[/align]
