If you're line of thinking would be follow then it would be crazy, the question marks are more on the what ifs than based on reality. -
it losses the essence of “prestige” tournament. if you read the comments on fifa expanding to 48, most of them don’t like it.. both fifa and fiba don’t need to cater those some countries that didn’t made it to the world cup..Originally posted by Giannis34GOD View Post
and what’s next after 48? all countries will join the world cup? let it stick what it is..Philippine Malditas to FIFA Womens World Cup 2023

20 years ago, the fiba world championships are just only 16… no one predicted that the slots will be expanded… international basketball back then is not a thing before… things are change now… in just 20 years, fiba already double the number of participants to 32.. and more teams that are regular participants in the past were didn’t qualified even the slots already 32… another thing is the money part… more teams means more money, more viewers, more sponsorships… and we are now in modern globalization era that everyone in the world is already aware what’s going on (unless if you are from North Korea)… no one predicted that South Sudan will be progressing fast in terms of basketball that their country are just only 13 years old after independence…no one predicted Georgia can qualify that no one knows where is their location in Europe… oh well, can we find where Cape Verde exist in map? But they have a good basketball team… in asia, we only know that Mongolia is a crazy basketball followers as well… no one can tell bro… after 2002, they expand the teams from 16 to 24 teams in 2006.. 13 years later, fiba expand the teams to 32 in 2019… see the logic, and we all know money is the king of everyone… don’t be surprised that in 15 years span, fiba might expand the slots to 48… we can’t tell mr.zagklis’ mind.. especially money is always in place…Originally posted by deviant View PostComment

If the money is there after expanding the slots then why not? We are now in the era that everyone is aware of everything, the globalization of the sport of basketball is now making place.. are we not happy that the sport that we love is already a global thing…Originally posted by Silent Killer View PostComment

With argentina will not qualified, I guess their planned of having friendly games in Spain against Canada and Spain might not in place, or maybe it will continue even Argentina will not play… it’s sad…Comment

To me rather than have too many teams (48 ) over just 2 weeks tournament. Better to have multiple separate tournaments like OQT for over 48 teams, like 8 tournaments 5 teams per tournament.
It's not good to watch blowouts, where 1st seed plays 48 seedComment

It remain to be seen if there is really money to be earn in the latest expansion.Originally posted by Giannis34GOD View PostComment

I?m not too familiar with Cape Verde, but I do know eddy tavares? former cavs and now Real Madrid starting center? I think South Sudan is the dangerous team out of 5 African teams out there? while in americas, if you are Filipino fan, I would like the possibility of grouping with Puerto Rico, Mexico, Venezuela or Dominican RepublicOriginally posted by deviant View PostComment

Finland fans led the foreign fans who will watch the event with total of 5k, According to Filipino marketing officers who will manage the selling of tickets for upcoming FIBA WC event... I'm sure teams like Lithuania, China, Serbia and Greece and their followers has also already buy their tickets for upcoming event....
