Draw
The draw took place at The House of Basketball in Mies, Switzerland on 27 November 2019.[4][5] There were four World Olympic Qualifying Tournaments. Each tournament featured four teams, three of whom qualified for the Olympic Games. However, because the host nation and the World Cup winner were playing in the qualifying tournaments, the tournaments in which they played each awarded only two additional spots.
