MANCHESTER GETS NEXT GB GAMES
GB Women’s EuroBasket qualifiers and GB Men’s EuroBasket pre-qualifiers will be staged at England’s National Performance Centre in Manchester.
Chema Buceta’s women’s side currently have three wins from four in their qualifying group and have two huge games at home to Greece and Portugal.
Two wins in November will guarantee qualification and GB will be hoping for a repeat of their memorable victory over Israel last year when they were inspired by the home support in Manchester.
The Men are looking for a solid start at home when they take on Austria with the perfect opportunity to produce a win on home soil.
Mark Clark, British Basketball Performance Director, said “We are delighted that British Basketball is returning to Manchester in November for three important games for British Basketball. These are vital games and I hope that a strong home crowd will assist the teams in securing three wins.”

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.
