(21.9 points per game) The 2011 FIBA Asia Championship for Men is the intercontinental championship for basketball organized by FIBA Asia that doubles as a qualifying tournament for the men's basketball tournament of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, United Kingdom. The tournament was held from 15 to 25 September 2011 in Wuhan, Hubei, China. Lebanon was the original host for the event. Team China won the tournament, defeating Jordan 70–69 in the final. It was the first time in the history of the FIBA Asia Cup that the title was won by just one point.

Qualification

Qualified teams

According to the FIBA Asia rules, each zone had two berths, and the host nation, China and the FIBA Asia Stanković Cup champions, Lebanon, were automatically qualified. According to performance in the 2010 FIBA Asia Stanković Cup, the other four places are allocated to the zones. Therefore, with Lebanon, Japan, Qatar and the Philippines finishing in the top four in that tournament, West Asia, East Asia, the Gulf and Southeast Asia were all given one additional qualifying berth per zone.

Among the 2009 qualified teams, Sri Lanka did not qualify for the tournament, while Kazakhstan and Kuwait did not participate. The three returning teams are Bahrain, which qualified in 2009 but withdrew, Syria, which did not participate in 2009, and Malaysia, which last participated in 2005.

Draw

The draw was held on July 6 at Wuhan. The four semifinalists of last year's 2010 FIBA Asia Stanković Cup were seeded into four different groups, and the draw decided which group each would figure in. Then, one Middle Asia was drawn into Group A, the other Middle Asia into B, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates into C and D. The next four were Malaysia, Chinese Taipei, Syria and Bahrain in order. Finally, host China chose Group D, after which Iran, Jordan and Korea were drawn into Groups B, C, and A, respectively.

The following is the distribution of the pots before the draw, with teams sorted by their FIBA World Ranking (Bahrain is unranked); teams from each pot cannot be drawn together.

  • The draw was conducted before the qualifiers from Middle Asia were known. India (ranked 50th) won the qualifiers from the SAARC, while Uzbekistan (ranked 58th) was the qualifier from the "Stans" countries.

Venues

Two arenas in Wuhan, Wuhan Sports Center Gymnasium and Hongshan Gymnasium, were used in the championship. Wuhan Sports Center Gymnasium was the primary venue.
