The tournament was scheduled to take place from August 17 to
29, but FIBA said aspects such as travel restrictions, the welfare of
participants, access to fans, and ensuring the highest quality of events, factored
into its decision.
Thirteen teams qualified for the first event out of a total
of 16 teams, and the last three places will be determined through two
qualifying tournaments for third-ranked teams that will play in the second part
of August.
In addition, the AFC granted its Jordanian counterpart the
honor of hosting the 2021 AFC Women’s Cup – (Section A), which will be held
from September 27 to October 3, 2021, based on Jordan’s success in recently organizing
the AFC Asian Cup qualifier.
The Jordan Basketball Association will also organize the
2021 Women's Asian Cup — (Section B) from November 7 to 13.
