The 1992 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Women was a women's basketball tournament that consisted of 16 national teams, where the top four teams earned a place in the 1992 Summer Olympics basketball tournament in Barcelona, Spain. It was held in Vigo, from May 28 to June 7.[1]

The Community of Independent States, China, Brazil[2][3] and Czechoslovakia qualified for the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Due to the sanctions on Yugoslavia by the United Nations as a consequence of the Yugoslav Civil War, the International Basketball Federation added a game to the qualifying tournament to determine the fifth-place team, in which Italy defeated Canada. Lately, after the confirmation of the ban, the Italian team secured a spot in Barcelona. [4]

Format[edit]

The 16 teams were divided into two groups (Groups A–B) for the qualifying tournament. The first in each group was directed qualified for the 1992 Olympics, while the second from one group faced the third from the other for the final spots in the Games.
