Qatar to face Iraq tomorrow in FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers

​DOHA, July 1, 2018 - Qatar's basketball team will face their Iraqi counterparts on Monday in the final round of group (D) at the FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers in China.

The top three teams from each group climb to the second stage, which includes 12 teams, divided into two groups, each with six teams.

Three teams from each group in the second stage will qualify, directly to the 2019 World Cup in China as well as the best in fourth place. Asia secured seven seats in the World Cup in the next qualifying round through qualifications, especially as China has qualified as the host country of the global competition.

The Qatari team recently participated in the International Tripartite Basketball Tournament in Lebanon as part of preparations for the last two games in the Asian qualifying for the World Cup 2019 China.
