| 2016 FIBA Asia U-18 Championship for Women | |
The 2016 FIBA Asia Under-18 Championship for Women was the qualifying tournament for FIBA Asia at the 2017 FIBA Under-19 World Championship for Women. The tournament, which was also the 23rd edition of the biennial competition, took place in Bangkok, Thailand from November 13 to November 20, 2016.[1]
China defeated Japan in the finals, 78–47, to notch their fourth straight title and 15th overall,[2] while South Korea edged Chinese Taipei in the battle for Third Place, 66–63. China, Japan and South Korea will represent FIBA Asia at the 2017 FIBA Under-19 World Championship for Women, which will be held in Italy.
The championship was divided into two levels: Level I and Level II. The two lowest finishers of Level I (Thailand and India) met the top two finishers of Level II (Indonesia and Malaysia) to determine which teams qualified for the top Level of the 2018 Championships. Both Indonesia and Malaysia won promotion into Level I, with the losers, India and Thailand, being relegated to Level II.
