FIBA, basketball’s international governing body, announced on Tuesday that Russia has been disqualified from qualifying for the men’s Olympic basketball tournament in Paris next year. FIBA had previously suspended Russia’s teams from international play following the invasion of Ukraine last year, making this decision widely anticipated. While the International Olympic Committee supports individual athletes from Russia and Belarus competing as neutrals, they are not permitted to participate as national teams, including in basketball. Despite Russia’s high world ranking, the pre-qualifying tournament spot for Europe will be given to Bulgaria, the next-highest-ranked team, following the IOC’s recommendations, according to FIBA’s statement.
