FIVE IN HAT FOR 2017 EUROS
Five countries are officially in the running organise to EuroBasket 2017, FIBA Europe have confirmed.
Finland, Israel, Poland, Romania and Turkey have all confirmed their interest after the deadline for applications was officially closed.
As it was the case with EuroBasket 2015 there are three hosting options available: organise the whole event, one Group Phase group or a Group Phase group and the Final Phase.
Evaluation commissions will visit all candidate venues in the month of November and submit their report to the FIBA Europe Board which will discuss and decide the hosts at its next session on 12 December.
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.
