England U16 Squad for Sweden Series Announced

The England Under-16 squad competing this weekend in a three game series vs Sweden at Oaklands College has been announced.

Head Coach Alan Keane has selected a squad of 16 to take to Oaklands, led by the likes of Nelson Boachie-Yiadom, Jacob Iwowo and Josh Edwards.

“We are very excited about having the opportunity to play Sweden once again as part of our preparation for the European Championships,” Keane said.

“We are always eager to play them in the build up as we know we are always going to be competing against a well organised, fast paced, disciplined style team who will challenge us to be at our best on both ends of the floor.”

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.
