The Women s Basketball World Cup is crazy? Tickets will be sold one year in advance: Will the Chinese team strive for the medals?

The opening match of the 2026 Women's Basketball World Cup is nearly a year away, but the official World Cup has already been unable to wait. They have warmed up a year in advance and have officially launched tickets to the 2026 Women's Basketball World Cup knockout round. However, it is quite interesting that the top 16 of the World Cup has not been confirmed yet. Only 5 teams have locked in the World Cup, and there are still 11 teams left that have not been locked for the time being. It is indeed a bit incomprehensible to see the official Women's Basketball World Cup that the official is so eager to sell tickets at this time. However, no matter what, the Chinese women's basketball team will strive for the medals in this World Cup.

According to the competition system, the 2026 Women's Basketball World Cup will be held in September next year, with the specific time being from September 4-13. According to the schedule, the group stage will be held between 4-7 days, while the knockout stage will be held between 8-13 days. There are 16 teams participating in the World Cup this time, and they will be divided into four groups. The team that won the first place in the group will directly advance to the quarterfinals. And the second and third place in the group, they will participate in the subsequent play-offs to compete for the remaining quarterfinals. As for the teams in the fourth place in the group, they will be directly eliminated.

In the past two years, due to the emergence of women's basketball talents, the attention of the Women's Basketball World Cup has also increased. Especially for the Chinese women's basketball team, the Chinese team is also paying great attention due to the existence of a large number of talented players such as Li Yueru, Han Xu and Zhang Ziyu. As the runner-up winner of the last Women's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese team has a great influence in international competitions. Moreover, there are also strong women's basketball teams such as the United States, Spain, France, Belgium and Germany. It can be said that this Women's Basketball World Cup is still very interesting.

Now, in order to better create the Women's Basketball World Cup, the Women's Basketball World Cup official can't wait. They have already started pre-sale of World Cup knockout tickets a year in advance. This should be unique in the history of women's basketball. Even in men's basketball games, few tickets are sold one year in advance. After all, from the moment, except for the host Germany team and the champion teams of major intercontinental competitions this year, they have already secured a place in the World Cup next year, the rest of the teams have not yet secured a place in the World Cup.

According to previous regulations, the teams currently locking in World Cup seats are Germany, Belgium, the United States, Australia and Nigeria. In addition to these five teams advancing ahead of schedule, the remaining 11 seats need to be won through next year's World Cup qualifiers. The Chinese team lost to the Japanese team in the semi-finals of this year's Asian Cup and missed the championship, which also missed the opportunity to advance directly to the World Cup. However, in next year's World Cup qualifiers, as long as the Chinese team can qualify successfully, they can also win a World Cup seat through the World Cup qualifiers.

For the official, it is indeed a bit crazy to launch World Cup tickets one year in advance. After all, there are currently 16 teams participating in the World Cup, and there are still 11 teams that have not yet locked their seats. Moreover, there are nearly a year left before the start of the World Cup, and there are still many variables in the next year. At this time, the official can’t wait to sell tickets, which is indeed a bit incomprehensible. Is this the game crazy? Or is it that the official is afraid that the tickets will not be sold, so he has to start selling them in advance?
