China was among six bidders to host FIVB World Cup, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) said Thursday.
China, Germany, the Philippines, Qatar and Turkey want to host one of the 2019 and 2023 events. Germany may bid alone or with France.
The FIBA ruling board will choose the 2019 host in June, and may also pick the 2023 host from the remaining bidders.
FIBA did not specify when the 32-team 2019 tournament would be played. Its men's world championship traditionally starts in late-August and finishes in mid-September.
