Men's basketball has been an Olympic Games discipline since 1936 without interruption. The tournament is dominated by the United States, having won 15 of the 18 editions.

But Mexico and Brazil are no strangers to the finals. Mexico has won bronze once, at the 1936 Berlin Games, while Brazil has done so on three occasions: Helsinki 1952,Rome 1960 and Tokyo 1964
 

On the bench of the Mexican national team, the technical direction is in the hands of an expert in the field: Omar Quintero, who assured that if they continue with the sporting level shown against Russia, the Tricolour team can aspire to the Olympic Games.

The South Americans advanced as leaders of Group B with four points. In their participation in the tournament they have two victories, the first against Tunisia by a score of 83-57 and the second against Croatia 94-67.

Mexico and Brazil have shared a great rivalry for almost a decade, so the duel is sure to be a great spectacle and exciting.

Although the 12 Warriors started their participation in the tournament on the right foot, they managed to recover and are now looking forward to continue advancing in the Pre-Olympic.

In the first episode Mexico lost by a score of 82-76 in their debut against Germany.

Afterwards they got back on track and defeated Russia 72-64. This result placed them second in Group A and they got their ticket to the Semifinals round, where they will play the Grand Final against the Cariocas.

 

FIBA awards only one ticket to qualify for the Olympic Games so these four teams will be playing for the title.

Mexico must advance to the final and win it if they are to return to the Olympic Games.

Mexico's basketball team has not qualified for the Olympics since Montreal 1976, 43 years ago.
 

The semi-final brackets look extremely attractive for this final stage of the FIBA Pre-Olympics.

The first bracket features Germany and hosts Croatia.

In the second, Brazil and the 12 Warriors from Mexico.

These four teams will be looking for a ticket to the grand final
