Basketball_at_the_2000_Summer_Olympics_–_Women's_qualification
The women's qualification for the 2000 Olympic women's basketball tournament occurred from 1998–2000; all five FIBA (International Basketball Federation) zones sent in teams.
The first qualifying tournament was the 1998 FIBA World Championship for Women in which the champion was guaranteed of a place in the Olympics. Throughout the next two years, several regional tournaments served as qualification for the zonal tournaments, which doubles as intercontinental championships, to determine which teams were to participate in the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics.
