FIBA has launched an updated version of the FIBA World Ranking Men, designed to provide a clearer and more modern method for ranking national basketball teams globally.
The updated ranking system aims to support fans, governing bodies, and teams in understanding the global basketball landscape more effectively. This change comes ahead of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 Qualifiers, emphasizing the importance of current and consistent evaluations.
"The new ranking model is developed to reflect the competitive balance and the evolving nature of international basketball," FIBA stated.
FIBA’s improved ranking system modernizes how national teams are assessed, prioritizing transparency and recent performance to better capture the global competitive dynamics.
