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]
