| 2017 FIBA Asia Under-16 Championship for Women | |
The 2017 FIBA Asia Under-16 Championship for Women was the qualifying tournament for FIBA Asia at the 2018 FIBA Under-17 World Championship for Women. Originally slated to be held at Hyderabad, the tournament venue was moved and held in Bengaluru, India from October 22 to 28.[1][2][3]
Australia stormed back from a 13-point deficit in the third quarter to eke out a come-from-behind 61–60 win against Japan in the Finals, notching their first-ever championship in the tournament.[4][5] Meanwhile, dethroned defending champions China salvaged the bronze medal after dispatching New Zealand, 60–43.
All these teams will represent FIBA Asia to the next year's FIBA U17 Women's World Cup to be held in Belarus.
