The 2016 FIBA Asia Under-18 Championship was the 24th edition of the Asian basketball championship for under-18 men. The tournament was held in Tehran, Iran, from 22 to 31 July 2016.[1] It also served as a qualification for the 2017 FIBA Under-19 World Championship in Egypt, where the top three teams qualified.[2] This was the second time the country hosted the tournament after successfully staging the 20th edition eight years ago.
Iran as the host team won the tournament after defeating Japan in the final, 71–65, to secure their third FIBA Asia Under-18 Championship title.
Allocation of berths
According to FIBA Asia rules, the number of participating teams in the FIBA Asia Under-18 Championship was set at 16. The hosts and the defending champions qualified automatically. All FIBA Asia subzones got two berths each, except for the Central and South Asian subzones, which got one berth each. The last four berths were allocated to subzones based on their teams' results in the 2014 FIBA Asia Under-18 Championship.[3][4][5]
