What must be returned with the List of Players to prove eligibility?

To prove eligibility, it is essential to return documents required to confirm the eligibility of players and coaches along with the List of Players. These documents serve as official verification of each player's qualifications and compliance with relevant rules and regulations set forth by FIBA and governing basketball bodies. They typically include proof of age, nationality, and any applicable player registrations or licenses.

Submitting these documents is a critical step to ensure that all players are correctly registered and eligible to participate in competitions. This process maintains the integrity of the tournament and helps prevent any eligibility disputes that could arise due to improper registrations. The importance of these documents cannot be overstated, as they are the foundation for ensuring fair play and adherence to the governing policies within the sport.

The other choices, while they may have their own importance, do not directly relate to the verification of player and coach eligibility in the same way. For example, administrative fees are necessary for processing but do not serve as proof of eligibility, and competition records, while useful, do not substantiate a player’s current eligibility status. A letter of approval from national headquarters may be relevant in specific contexts but is not a standard requirement across the board in proving individual eligibility.
