Group A was one of eight groups of the preliminary round of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. It took place from 25 to 29 August 2023 and consisted of Angola, the Philippines, the Dominican Republic, and Italy.[1][2] Each team played each other once, for a total of three games per team, with all but two games to be played at the Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City, Philippines. The top two teams advanced to the second round and the bottom two teams qualified for the classification rounds.[3]
Following the venue change for the final phase to the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, FIBA announced that the first two games of Group A would take place at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, the original venue for the final phase.[4][5]
