The 2013 Asian Basketball Championship (officially: FIBA Asia Championship 2013 ) was the 27th edition of this tournament and took place from August 1 to August 11, 2013 in the Philippines . It was organized by FIBA Asia , the Asian basketball association. The three best placed received a starting place at the 2014 World Cup .
A total of 15 teams took part in the 2013 Asian Cup, which were able to qualify for the tournament in different ways. The team from Lebanon did not take part in the championships. The host and the winner of the FIBA Asia Stanković Cup were automatically qualified . The representatives from West, East, Southeast Asia and the Gulf region each got two places. South and Central Asia each got a starting place. The last four starting places were awarded based on the results of the Stanković Cup 2012. This gave West Asia three more launch sites and the Gulf region one launch site.
1) In July 2013, FIBA suspended Lebanon's membership for an indefinite period. Thus Lebanon was excluded from participation in the Asian Cup. FIBA tried to invite the runners-up in the West Asia qualification, Iraq and United Arab Emirates, but both canceled due to lack of preparation time. FIBA decided to hold the tournament with 15 teams. All teams in group B were qualified for the next round regardless of the outcome of the group games. All games were played in two different sports halls in Manila .
Preliminary round
In the preliminary round four teams played against each other in three groups. In Group B only three teams played. The winner of a game received two points, the loser one point. The three best in each group reached the group stage. The fourth place played for places 13-16.
