Eight countries have submitted their final bid to host one of the four 2016 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments for Men and Women.


France and Spain are the candidates to host the 12-team Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament (WOQT) running from 13-19 June, which has five places on offer for the Women's Olympic Basketball Tournament at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Given the high number of candidates bidding to host one of the four events and in order to properly assess each candidature, the evaluation period has been extended and the decision regarding the four hosts will be taken by FIBA’s Executive Committee on 19 January 2016.

The Draw for the 2016 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments will take place on 26 January 2016 at the House of Basketball in Mies, Switzerland.
