FIBA was forced to adjust the window schedule of the Asian Cup qualifiers. The 2021 FIBA Asian Cup Qualifiers Group A, Group D and Group E will be held as scheduled from November 27 to 30, 2020. As the Korean men’s basketball team in Group A cannot go to the closed competition area to compete, Group A in this window Only the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia participated in the competition. At the same time, the competitions of Group B (Chinese Taipei, Japan, Malaysia, China), Group C (New Zealand, Australia, Guam, Hong Kong) and Group F (Jordan, Kazakhstan, Palestine, Sri Lanka) will be postponed to February this year.
