Once all 24 teams for the 2010 FIBA World Championship are known, FIBA and the Local Organizing Committee will conduct a draw to determine the composition of the 4 groups of six teams each.
These four groups will play round-robin within their groups during the Preliminary Round of the World Championship.
This draw is likely to take place in January 2010 in Turkey. The exact date and location has still to be confirmed.
