Encyclopedia
The 2010 FIBA World Championship
, hosted by Turkey, was the international basketball
competition contested by the men's national teams. The tournament ran from August 28 to September 12, 2010. It was co-organized by the International Basketball Federation
(FIBA), Turkish Basketball Federation
and the 2010 Organizing Committee. It was considered as prestigious a competition as the Olympic Basketball Tournament
.
For the third time (after the 1986
and 2006
tournaments), the World Championship had 24 competing nations. As a result, the group stage games were played in four different cities, and the knockout round was hosted by Istanbul
.
The United States won the tournament after going undefeated in the Opening Round and beating host Turkey in the final. It was the fourth time the Americans have won the tournament.
The draw for the Championship took place on December 15, 2009 in Istanbul
. Teams were drawn into four preliminary round groups of six teams each. Teams first played a round robin schedule, with the top sixteen teams advancing to the knockout stage.
Three bids from six countries – France, Turkey, and a joint bid from former Yugoslav
republics Bosnia and Herzegovina
, Croatia
, Serbia
, Montenegro
, and Slovenia
– made their final presentation during the FIBA's 20-member Central Board in Kuala Lumpur
, Malaysia, on December 5, 2004. Previously, Australia and New Zealand, Italy, Russia and Puerto Rico
announced their intention to bid from the tournament, but withdrew their bids prior to the votes. France won the first round of voting, but Turkey eventually won the right to host after the joint bidders were knocked out in the first round.
The tournament was the first time that Turkey has hosted the event and marked the first World Championship held in Europe since the 1998 FIBA World Championship
was held in Greece.

automatically qualified as the host country, and the USA also received an automatic berth for winning the 2008 Olympic Men's Basketball Tournament.
Most other teams secured their places in continental qualifying tournaments (three from Africa
, three from Asia

, and six from Europe
). FIBA
invited four "wild card" teams to fill out the twenty-four team field.
were determined by FIBA
through criteria. For example, a team must have played in the Zone's qualification tournament to receive recommendation. Also, in order for every team to have an opportunity for a wild card, a maximum of three teams from any Zone can be allotted a wild card entry. Once these requirements are satisfied, FIBA
then looks at other important factors. Those include popularity of basketball within the country, success of the team, and government support for the team's National Federation. As of 2009, FIBA
now requires that wild card candidates pay a late registration fee to be considered.
Fourteen teams paid the 500,000 € fee to apply for one of the four wild card spots. FIBA

Angola
and the United States of America were the only teams made up of entirely domestic players (Jordan
and Russia
each had 11 domestic players). Slovenia
was the only team composed entirely of individuals playing outside the domestic league. The Canada squad also consisted entirely of individuals playing outside the country, but at that time Canada had no professional league operating exclusively in the country (a minor professional league
is scheduled to begin play in 2011). The National Basketball Association
, based in the U.S., has a Canadian team
, and several minor leagues operate on both sides of the U.S.–Canada border. Four Canadian squad members played in U.S.-based competitions—two with U.S.-based NBA teams, and two for a U.S. college team
. Forty-one NBA players were selected to compete in the tournament, the most of any league.
and Serbia
both began the tournament shorthanded when each had two players suspended for their roles in a brawl at the World Championship tuneup Acropolis Tournament, held in mid-August. The two teams engaged in a chaotic brawl with 2:40 left when Greece's Antonis Fotsis
threatened Serbia's Miloš Teodosić
after Teodosić committed a foul. The fight spilled off the floor and into the locker room tunnel; the game was thus terminated with final score the score at the time of the interruption (74-73 for Greece). Serbian center Nenad Krstić
was arrested and held overnight for throwing a chair in the brawl.
For their roles in the melee, Krstić was suspended for the first three games of the tournament, while Teodosić, and Greece's Fotsis and Sofoklis Schortsanitis
were suspended for the first two games. Both Greek coach Jonas Kazlauskas
and Serbian coach Dušan Ivković
criticized FIBA for waiting until less than 48 hours before the tournament – over a week after the brawl – to announce the suspensions, citing the unfairness of playing shorthanded for the first games. Greece eventually won their first two games in spite of the suspensions, while Serbia won two of their first three games.
There were few surprises in the early round; each team that advanced to the knockout stage was ranked in the top 20 of the FIBA World Ranking at the time of the tournament. Defending champions Spain struggled early, losing two of their first three games before recovering to finish second in Group D. Argentina and the USA, the two top teams in the FIBA rankings, both cruised to the knockout phase, as the USA went 5–0 and Argentina went 4–1, with their only loss coming to Number 5 ranked Serbia.

Preliminary round
The top four finishers in each of the four preliminary round groups advanced to the sixteen team, single-elimination knockout stage, where Group A teams would meet Group B teams and Group C would meet Group D. European teams proved the most successful in the first round, as nine of the ten teams advanced to the knockout stage (only Germany did not progress). Both Oceanian teams qualified for the next round, as did three of the five FIBA Americas teams. The three African and four Asian teams struggled, with only Angola and China reaching the knockout stage after each finished fourth place in their group.There were few surprises in the early round; each team that advanced to the knockout stage was ranked in the top 20 of the FIBA World Ranking at the time of the tournament. Defending champions Spain struggled early, losing two of their first three games before recovering to finish second in Group D. Argentina and the USA, the two top teams in the FIBA rankings, both cruised to the knockout phase, as the USA went 5–0 and Argentina went 4–1, with their only loss coming to Number 5 ranked Serbia.
