FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Points Table

Group A: Australia, South Korea, Lebanon, Qatar

Defending champions Australia are placed alongside South Korea, Lebanon, and Qatar in Group A. Entering the tournament as the reigning champions, Australia will be the favourite to emerge as the top team and directly qualify for the quarter-finals. 

However, the last edition’s runner-up, Lebanon, will also aim to secure a first-place finish. Qatar achieved their last podium finish in 2005 and will look to punch above their weight in this edition. 

Team	Games	Wins	Losses	Pts	Pts+	Pts-	Diff
Australia	1	1	0	2	97	61	+36
Lebanon	1	1	0	2	84	80	+4
Qatar	1	0	1	1	80	84	-4
South Korea	1	0	1	1	61	97	–36

Group B: Japan, Iran, Guam, Syria

Group B of the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 includes Japan, Iran, Guam, and Syria.  The Japanese team hasn’t had a podium finish since 1997, but is expected to shine this season, following a successful outing in the Paris Olympics.

Meanwhile, Iran won three titles from 2007 to 2013 and are expected to be the top team in the group. Guam are making their first-ever appearance in the tournament, while Syria finished 12th and 10th respectively in the last two editions, and nothing extraordinary is expected from them. 

Team	Games	Wins	Losses	Pts	Pts+	Pts-	Diff
Japan	1	1	0	2	99	68	+31
Iran	1	1	0	2	77	52	+25
Guam	1	0	1	1	52	77	-25
Iran	1	0	1	1	68	99	-31

Group C: India, China, Saudi Arabia, Jordan

India are placed alongside China, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan in Group C. With a 16th-place finish in 2022 and no medals so far in the tournament, the Indian team is not expected to achieve a first-place finish.

After two rounds of matches each, India are at the bottom of the standings—winless and with just two points. Their chances of reaching the knockout round looks slim and they must beat the hosts Saudi by a big margin in their last group match to secure a place inside the top three.

Although China finished eighth in the 2022 edition, they are the most successful team in the competition history with 16 titles. They sit comfortably atop the group after two wins from their opening two matches and need to just defeat Jordan in their final group match to secure direct path to quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Jordan share the second and third spots respectively, with both having won and lost a match each in their opening two rounds.

Team	Games	Wins	Losses	Pts	Pts+	Pts-	Diff
China	2	2	0	4	193	157	+36
Saudi Arabia	2	1	1	3	165	166	-1
Jordan	2	1	1	3	164	161	+3
India	2	0	2	2	153	191	-38

Group D: Chinese Taipei, New Zealand, Iraq, Philippines

Chinese Taipei and New Zealand have already secured their place in the playoffs while Iraq and Philippines will meet in a take-all encounter to decide the third-placed team in Group D.

In Group D, Chinese Taipei and New Zealand will clash in a top-of-the-table match to decide the table toppers, with the winner earning a direct berth to the quarterfinals.

In the other match of the group, Iraq and Philippines will meet to decide who finish third and who finishes fourth in the group.

Team	Games	Wins	Losses	Pts	Pts+	Pts-	Diff
Chinese Taipei	2	2	0	4	182	147	+35
New Zealand	2	2	0	4	194	164	+30
Philippines	2	0	2	2	173	189	–16
Iraq	2	0	2	2	138	187	–49
