The FIBA Americas Championships 2007 (The Tournament of the Americas) will be held at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas from August 22 to September 2. It will be the thirteenth staging of the FIBA Americas Championship.

It was originally going to be hosted in Venezuela – however, they failed to pay a $1.5 million fee as of August 31, 2006. As such, their hosting privileges were taken away.

Several countries had shown interest in hosting the tournament, including: United States, Chile, Argentina and Puerto Rico. The United States has not hosted it since 1992, Chile has never hosted it, Argentina held it last in 2001 and Puerto Rico last hosted in 2003.

Qualification

Participating countries (orange) and the host country (maroon).

Eight teams qualified during the qualification tournaments held in their respective zones in 2006; two teams (USA and Canada) qualified automatically since they are the only members of the North America zone.

The tournament draw took place Wednesday, March 21, in Las Vegas. The teams were split into 5 pots; those drawn first will go to Group A, those drawn last will go to Group B.

The draw split the tournament into two groups:[1]

Format

  • The top four teams from each group advance to the quarterfinals.
  • Results and standings among teams within the same group are carried over.
  • The top four teams at the quarterfinals advance to the semifinals (1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 3).
  • The winners in the knockout semifinals advance to the Final, where both are guaranteed of berths in the 2008 Olympics. The losers figure in a third-place playoff. The semifinal losers and the 5th best team in the quarterfinals are assured of berths to the pre-Olympic qualifying tournament.
