The 2017 FIBA Asia Cup (formerly known as the FIBA Asia Championship) was the 29th continental basketball championship in Asia. The tournament was organised by FIBA Asia. It took place from 8 to 20 August 2017, a week earlier from the initial scheduled date,[1][2] in Lebanon.[3] The Nouhad Nawfal Arena with a capacity of 8,000 seats hosted the tournament's matches.[4]
All 16 teams who qualified for the tournament also qualified for the first round of the FIBA Asia and FIBA Oceania qualifiers for the 2019 FIBA World Cup.[2] The top five teams in the 2016 FIBA Asia Challenge earned an extra berth in the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup for their respective sub-zones.[5] Australia and New Zealand participated for the first time in this tournament.[2]
Australia won their first title by defeating Iran 79–56.[6] South Korea finished third after beating New Zealand 80–71.[7]
