The tournament was originally planned for 12 teams. However, after the qualifying round was concluded,FIBA Europe decided to expand it to 16 teams. The main reason for this decision were political changes in Eastern Europe - both theSoviet Union andYugoslavia had disintegrated. Teams from these two countries had completely dominated competitions in European basketball up to that point.Yugoslavia was the title holder but was banned from all international sport competitions as a result ofsanctions against Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.Russia was announced as the successor to theSoviet Union team and competed as an independent country at a major tournament for the first time. Since teams from new sovereign nations, including1992 Olympics silver medalistCroatia and bronze medalistLithuania did not have the opportunity to compete in the qualifying round, FIBA Europe organized an additional qualifying tournament in order to provide some of these teams a chance to participate at the championship. The additional tournament was held inWrocław,Poland a month before Eurobasket.
