Spain already knows its rivals for the Basketball World Cup to be held in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia between August 25 and September 10 of this year. The team led by Sergio Scariolo, who is defending his title of world champion in China 2019, will face Brazil, Iran and Ivory Coast, all of them framed in group G, in an affordable first phase for the Spaniards who will play their matches in Jakarta, Indonesia. In turn, Spain would face the always feared United States team in the hypothetical semifinals, which will be held at the Araneta Coliseum in Manila, Philippines.
Spain will debut on August 26 against the Ivory Coast and will close the first phase on August 30 against Iran. In the second phase, they would face rivals from one of the ‘groups of death’, the H made up of important teams such as Canada, France and Latvia.
Therefore, the objective of the Spanish team in the next World Cup is to fight for the medals and get one of the two European tickets, in addition to the host France, for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and thus avoid the always complicated Olympic playoffs. .
