Thailand currently have a 0-4 record in Group A of the Asia Cup Qualifiers. They have two scheduled games to play in the final window which will be played in Clark, Philippines from February 18-22. Thailand are scheduled to play Korea on February 20, before their last game of the Qualifiers against Indonesia on February 22.

There are 24 teams competing in the FIBA Asia Cup 2021 Qualifiers. Once the three windows of the Qualifiers conclude, the top two teams in each group will qualify directly to Asia Cup 2021. The six last-placed teams in each group are eliminated.

Meanwhile, the six third-placed teams in each group will then play in a separate qualifying tournament. Teams will be placed into two different groups of three teams. The top two teams of those respective groups will then lock in their spots at Asia Cup 2021, completing the 16-team roster who will also compete in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Asian Qualifiers.

Currently, Bahrain and Lebanon have already qualified for FIBA Asia Cup 2021 through the Qualifiers. Indonesia are also already qualified as the confirmed hosts of FIBA Asia Cup 2021.
