The 19th edition of FIBA’s flagship event, co-hosted by the Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan.
Germany became the first team to win a FIBA World Cup crown in their final debut since Spain in 2006.
Serbia absorbed another heartbreak after losing to the United States 129-92 in the 2014 final in Madrid, Spain, though they finished better than their quarterfinal exit in 2019.
Earlier, Canada bagged their first World Cup 2022 podium finish at the expense of the short-handed United States.
