Australia as the hosts automatically qualified for the tournament in March 2020. All other teams qualified through qualifying tournaments, after finishing as the top teams during their regional tournament. A total of 12 teams played in those tournaments for the remaining spots.[6]

On 1 March 2022, Russia was disqualified after being suspended by FIBA due to the invasion of Ukraine, with Puerto Rico being awarded the first wildcard as their replacement on 18 May.[7][8]

Nigeria were forced to withdraw in June 2022 due to the political situation in the country, and were replaced by Mali (the runners-up at the African Championship).[9]

Marketing

Logo and slogan

FIBA released the tournament slogan "Nothing Beats Like It" on 20 December 2021 as part of a promotional campaign.[17][18]

The tournament logo was revealed on 10 May, 2021, in a ceremony to mark 500 days until the tournament. The logo was inspired from the Indigenous artwork My Story, created by 14-year-old Aboriginal basketballer and artist Amarlie "Marlii" Briscoe. The logo features a basketball incorporating the designs used in Briscoe's artwork, also encompassing the newly-designed trophy for the tournament. The logo was created by VMLY&R Branding alongside Indigenous Australian-led creative consultancy Campfire x and Briscoe herself.[19]

Mascot

The mascot, "Karla the kangaroo", was revealed on 22 September 2021, exactly one year before the tournament. The mascot's character is a teenage kangaroo from Alice Springs, wearing a blue uniform. The kangaroo was chosen to be the mascot due to its cultural importance to Australia. The mascot was designed by design agency Spike Creative.[20]
