Excluding the hosts and automatically qualified teams, nine teams entered regional qualification.

Games were played from August 2024 to February 2025, to determine the 12 nations who will qualify for the tournament.{{Cite web |date=2023-11-24 |title=FIBA AfroBasket 2025 Qualifiers Draw out |url=https://www.fiba.basketball/en/news/fiba-afrobasket-2025-qualifiers-draw-out |access-date=2025-01-15 |website=www.fiba.basketball |language=en}}

Of the qualified teams, eleven appeared at the previous edition. Due to the lack of teams taking part, FIBA Africa awarded four wildcards rather than the usual two.{{cite web |url=https://www.fiba.basketball/en/news/egypt-and-mozambique-granted-wildcards-for-2025-womens-afrobasket|title=Egypt and Mozambique granted wildcards for 2025 Women's AfroBasket|date=6 March 2025|website=fiba.basketball|publisher=FIBA|access-date=6 March 2025}} Those teams were Egypt, Guinea, Mozambique and South Sudan.{{cite web |url=https://www.fiba.basketball/en/news/south-sudan-guinea-awarded-final-two-wildcards-for-2025-womens-afrobasket|title=South Sudan awarded one of the two final wildcards for the 2025 Women's AfroBasket|date=25 March 2025|website=fiba.basketball|publisher=FIBA|access-date=25 March 2025}}

After being given a wildcard South Sudan have qualified for the first time ever.

After appearing in 2023, DR Congo misses out.

Uganda will participate in their second consecutive appearance for the first time ever, while Egypt break their record for consecutive appearances with seven. Hosts Ivory Coast continue their record appearance streak to five.
