Qatar to host 2027 World Cup in men’s basketball -
The International Basketball Federation picked Qatar to host the 2027 edition of its marquee men’s World Cup on Friday. There was no vote between competing bids.
Asked how it considered rights issues, FIBA said in a statement that with no construction needed in Qatar “time and cost savings from not building any new venues will be focused into delivering the strongest possible social legacy.” The Qatari government said in a statement its “celebrated portfolio of mega-sport event hosting gave FIBA the confidence to confirm the decision without hesitation.”
Qatar is the third straight Asian host of the men’s tournament. China hosted in 2019 and the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia will host this year’s edition from Aug. 25-Sept. 10. Spain is the defending champion.
