On Saturday, the games for the 17th-32nd places in the FIBA World Cup 2023 came to a close. This marked the culmination of the Classification Round, distributing several tickets for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In a remarkable debut performance, South Sudan secured the 17th place in the World Cup. The African representatives won in three out of five games, earning themselves a direct ticket to the next year's Olympic Games.

France, on the other hand, had a disappointing campaign and finished in 18th place. Despite also winning three matches, they had already secured a spot in the Olympics as the host nation.

Having established itself as the top team in Asia, Japan maintained its 19th position and is guaranteed a place in the upcoming Olympic Games.

The national teams that secured the 20th-27th places have earned tickets to participate in next year's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments.
