Slovakia were to originally host the championship, but its national federation was suspended by the FIBA Central Board on 7 April. The Slovakian team still participated provided they meet the conditions imposed by FIBA.[1] On 26 May, the FIBA Central Board lifted its suspension, and the national team can still participate. The tournament would still be hosted by the Czech Republic, though.[2]
The United States successfully captured their third title in a row by defeating Spain, in a rematch of the last edition's final, 77–75 in the final.[3]
