Haris Memorial Tournament 2017 Lineup & Schedule Confirmed

Haris Tournament 2017

England Under 18s head the line-up for the 2017 Haris Memorial Tournament, which will run from 27-29 December at the Amaechi Basketball Centre in Manchester.

They will be joined by CB Novaschool Malaga (Spain), Værløse Basketball Club (Denmark), Elite Academy Antwerp (Belgium), EABL academies Charnwood College Riders and Myerscough College and Manchester Magic’s Under-18 and Under-16 sides.

The eight teams will be split into two groups, with the two top progressing to the semi-finals. This year, the event will also include an exhibition game with past and present Manchester stars and 3×3 community tournament for teams with kids in Years 7-9.

The three-day event, now in its 12th year, is held annually and was founded in 2006 to remember Haris Charalambous, one of the top players to come out of the Magic programme. Haris died suddenly while training with his NCAA Division 1 Toledo University team in October 2006.

“The Haris Charalambous Memorial Basketball Tournament is in its 12th year now and our aim is to make it bigger and better,” Phil Gordos, CEO of Greater Manchester Community Basketball and co-organiser of the tournament said.

“An important date on the junior basketball calendar, we felt it needed a facelift. We’ve created a new logo for the event to help raise its profile and there will be more branding around the venue to give it a more professional look and feel. We hope players, coaches, officials and fans notice the difference.

“Sadly, there are no American teams competing this year but we believe we’ve put together a line-up that will excite spectators and do the tournament justice.”

You can buy a £10 ticket that covers all three days of the tournament. Alternatively, you can pay for each day: £3 (27th), £4 (28th) and £5 (29th). To book Tickets in advance call 0161 881 0090.
