Qualification[edit]
The National Olympic Committees may enter up to one 12-player men's team and up to one 12-player women's team.
Hosts[edit]
Just as in 2012, the Olympic hosts were not guaranteed an Olympic berth. On 9 August 2015, it was announced that the Brazil men's and women's national teams would compete in the Olympic Basketball Tournament at the 2016 Rio Games after FIBA's Central Board decided to grant them automatic places at its meeting in Tokyo.[1]
