Everything you need to know about the FIBA Asia Cup as the Boomers try for a three-peat.

Australia is just one win away from the 2025 Asia Cup Gold Medal match. The Boomers play Iran at 2am on Sunday, August 17, 2025.

The unbeaten defending two-time champions are chasing a three-peat, a feat that hasn't been done in this tourney for over 20 years now.

The last time that a team accomplished as much was in 2003 in Harbin, when China struck gold for the third successive time, eventually making it four straight by ruling the 2005 showpiece held in Doha, Qatar.

Since joining in 2017, Australia has won all of their 12 matches so far in the Asia Cup, which could be one of the longest winning streaks in this prestigious competition.
