ITALY, GERMANY ARE GB TUNE-UP TESTS
Great Britain’s women are to face Italy and Germany in two friendlies apiece in their build-up towards next month’s EuroBasket qualifiers.
Peter Buckle’s side, who begin open training camp on Sunday, face Italy – quarter-finallists at last summer’s Euros – in two friendlies in Rome on May 17 and 18 before taking on regular foes Germany in two closed door games in Worcester on May 24 and 25.
The final camp squad is not yet finalised with MVP understanding Buckle may have to shuffle his pack following the weekend.
GB’s opening qualifier is against Belgium which takes place at the University of Worcester Arena on Sunday June 8th, with a 2pm tip off.

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.
