Organized by FIBA Europe, these qualifiers are a continent-wide competition involving dozens of national teams. The process is headquartered in Munich and is integrated into the FIBA calendar. The format is complex, typically involving multiple rounds of group stages where teams play home and away games across several windows, with the top finishers securing World Cup berths. This competition is characterized by high stakes and intense national pride, often featuring NBA and EuroLeague stars when available. Its influence is paramount, as it shapes the final field of the world's biggest basketball tournament.
