The event was held at the Dubai World Trade Centre in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates 8 to 20 June 2023. Originally scheduled to be held in November 2022, it was postponed to June 2023 in order not to clash with the 2022 FIFA World Cup being held in Qatar, but the name of the event was not changed. The opening ceremony was presided over by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the chairman of the Dubai Sports Council, and Ulf Mehrens, the president of the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation.[1] [2] [3]

Qualification was based on standings at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Each Olympic zone had one place, and in both competitions one place was allocated to the United Arab Emirates as the host nation. Additional places were earned by standings at Tokyo, not for the team, but for their zone. For the men, this resulted in one place for Africa, four for the Americas, six for Asia Oceania and five for Europe. For the women, one place for Africa, three for the Americas, four for Asia Oceania and four for Europe.[4] [5]
Qualification tournaments for the 2022 World Championships took place in all four Zones:
As host nation, the United Arab Emirates qualified in both Men's and Women's events, but was unable to field a women's team, and its place was taken by Thailand. The place of Iran's women's team was taken by China.
