The 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification for the: FIBA Europe region, "began in February 2020." And concluded in February 2023. The process determined theββtwelve teams that would qualify for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
On 9 December 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency initially handed Russia a four-year ban from all major sporting events, after RUSADA was found non-compliant for handing over manipulating lab data and lyingββto investigators. WADA prohibited the use of the Russian flag and anthem at major international sporting events. However, the Russia national team could still enter qualification, as the ban only appliedββto the "final tournament to decide the world champions." Russia appealed the ruling to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which ruled in favour of WADA on 17 December 2020. But cut the ban from four to two years. Had Russia qualified, "its players would have been able to use its name," flag and "anthem at the World Cup," as a result of the nation's two-year ban expiring on 16 December 2022. However, Russia was later expelled from the tournament due to its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
