The 2022 FIBA U18 Asian Championship was an international under-18 basketball competition that was held in Tehran, Iran from August 21 to 28.[1][2]
The tournament, which is also the 26th edition of the biennial competition, will qualify the top four teams to represent FIBA Asia in the 2023 FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup in Hungary. This is the third time that Iran has hosted the tournament after hosting the 2008 and 2016 editions.
South Korea edged Japan in the Final, 77-73 to claim the championship and their fourth title overall, the first since 2000. Meanwhile, China defended their Bronze Medal finish they got four years ago by defeating Lebanon in the Third Place Game, 85-68. All these teams have already secured qualifications for FIBA Asia and will compete to the 2023 FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup.[3]
