Meanwhile, the other and final nation in the Pool will come from the Zonal Qualifiers of Zone 1 and Zone 2.
It's worth noting that the qualification games will be played in February 2024.
Ironically, the Silverbacks were thrown in a similar group in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers.

It's also imperative to recall that Uganda also previously faced Cape Verde in the qualifiers for the 2021 AfroBasket.
The two nations yet again met in the quarterfinal of the final competition.
