Basketball at the Asian Games
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basketball is the regular Asian Games sport since the first edition in Delhi 1951.[1] The Asian Games tournaments were the de facto Asian championships until the Asian Basketball Confederation Championship was founded in 1960.
Player eligibility
The Asian Games does not follow FIBA eligibility rules. At least as early the 2010 edition, players do not have to obtain a passport at a certain age but rather have three years of residency in the country associated with their national team. The regulations reportedly was enforced in the 2014 edition, rendering named players in various national teams ineligible to compete.[2]
