Under what condition can a player who has played in an official FIBA competition before age seventeen play for another national team?

A player who has participated in an official FIBA competition before the age of seventeen can switch to another national team if there is agreement between both national federations. This provision recognizes the importance of mutual consent in maintaining fair play and the integrity of international competitions. The cooperation and agreement between the federations involved ensure that the player's eligibility aligns with the regulations established by FIBA. It signifies a collaborative approach to transitioning players between national teams rather than leaving it solely to individual decision-making or unilateral actions by one federation. Other conditions related to nationality or approval processes would not suffice without this essential agreement, highlighting the importance of working together in the context of international basketball governance.
