Second round[edit]

In the Second Round (also referred to as "Elite 16" by FIBA), the sixteen teams that advanced from the first round teams play in four groups of four, divided over two geographical divisions. The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals. Winners of each semi-finals qualify for the regular season while the losers play in a third place game for the final regular season spot.^[4] On 7 November, FIBA announced the four wild card receivers.^[5]

The Division West tournament will be played at the Kigali Arena in the Rwandan city of Kigali.^[6] The Division East tournament is played in the Multipurpose Sports Complex in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The Elite 16 will start on 26 November and end 22 December 2019.
