GB CONFIRM EURO BUILD-UP

By on June 6, 2017

Great Britain’s men have now finalised their warm-up schedule ahead of EuroBasket 2017.

In addition to previously announced friendlies against Greece and Israel – plus a four-team tournament in Warsaw – Joe Prunty’s men will also now take on Romania and Ukraine during their visit to Petras in early August.

7th – 8th of August, Tournament (GB, Greece, Romania, & Ukraine) Petras, Greece.
13th August, GB vs Israel, Tel Aviv, Israel.
19th August, GB vs Greece, Copper Box Arena, London
24th– 26th August, Tournament (GB, Poland, Hungary and Israel) Warsaw, Poland.

“There will be some tough opponents, in particular Greece, having had such strong successes, particularly in past EuroBasket tournaments,” said GB forward Dan Clark of the build-up to the Euros in Istanbul.

“It’s well documented that our group will be difficult and it’s a tough tournament. The depth of teams in Europe is very strong, however the team and I are really looking forward to it. We’re prepared and we’ve been working with Joe (Prunty) for a while now and could bring up a few surprises.”

Meanwhile the BBL have announced the 2018 BBL Trophy final will be held on Sunday 4 March at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena. The game will not be co-staged with WBBL Trophy final as it was last season.

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.
