-10 teams will participate
-Iran and China are already qualified
-Iran, China, 1 team from Central Asia, 1 team from East Asia (damn! south korea or japan or taipei), 1 team from Gulf, 1 team from South Asia, 2 teams from Southeast Asia and 2 teams from WABA

-it's the first step in the process of identifying the qualifiers for the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup. (source: hoopistani blog). i don't have more infos on this point.

do you know where and when 2017 fiba asia cup will take place & with how much teams?

[judasmartel]

I'm rooting for Lebanon and Palestine to qualify for the 2016 FIBA Asia Challenge.

*One team each from South Asia and Central Asia*

India and Kazakhstan.

*One team from East Asia*

Damn! Only one of Korea, Japan, or Taiwan! The hype is real!

Korea is on a decline AFAIK, but don't count them out yet. Korea is Korea no matter who they send.

As much as I want Japan to qualify, I would like to see Taiwan beat China once again, but with most of the Taiwanese core retiring, I guess it's not going to happen.

*Two teams from Southeast Asia*

Philippines (guess we're not sending our A-team here) and a toss-up between Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. Malaysia sucked so bad last year.

Your information was wrong

according to FIBA,this year's FIBA Asia Challenge will extent to 12 teams

and every Top5 country from Asia Champion 2015, will get one more place for their sub-zone.

and IF the host country from the top 5 team, the 6th country will earn another addition berth. , but That Sub-Zone must to host an qualification Game

so the 12 team will be

host country: Iran

East Asia:1+1+1+1(China,Japan,Korea*)

S.E. Asia:1+1(Phi)

S.Asia:1

Central Asia:1

Gulf:1

West Asia:1+1+1(Iran, Lebanon)

S.Asia:1

Central Asia:1

Gulf:1

West Asia:1+1+1(Iran, Lebanon)

So my predictions for this tourney are as follows:

Hosts - Iran
East Asia - China, Japan, South Korea, Chinese Taipei
SE Asia - Philippines, Singapore
South Asia - India
Central Asia - Kazakhstan
Gulf - Qatar
West Asia - Iran, Lebanon, Palestine
