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]
