Elvisi Dusha has made Albania’s final 12-man squad for the EuroBasket 2017 Qualifiers, that start today.

The former GB Under-20 candidate opted to represent his native country and now hopes to help his side make an impact in the competition.

Dusha said on his Facebook page: “I feel priveleged to be representing Albania and hopefully we can cause some upsets.

“Huge thanks to the Head & assistant coaches for the chance and knowledge they help me gain.

“Let’s build a story.”

Albania last played at a major tournament in 1957 and they take on Georgia in Tbilisi tonight in their qualifying opener.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
