Great Britain were placed in the fourth pool of seeds in the draw, following their EuroBasket Women 2019 qualification success where they topped Group D ahead of Greece, Israel and Portugal.
GB Women’s coach, Jose Maria Buceta, said:
“We did a great job being able to qualify and now we have to be ambitious in the final phase of EuroBasket Women. Our group is tough, as all the groups are. This is the 16-team EuroBasket, with no room for weak teams.
“We have to focus on ourselves and prepare well for each game, game-by-game, step-by-step, believing on what we have proven we can do.”

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.
