By Sam Neter on December 15, 2018

Great Britain’s Under-16, Under-18 and Under-20 sides learned their opponents next summer as the draw for their respective tournaments was made this week in Belgrade.

The GB U20 Men will head to Tel Aviv for the European Championships, where they will face off against Turkey, France and Montenegro. The tournament starts on 13 July and runs through until 20th.

The GB U18 Men will head to Greek city of Volos for the European Championships from 27 July-4 August where they will square-off against Germany, Turkey and reigning champions, Serbia in Group A.

Meanwhile, the GB U16 Boys are grouped alongside Slovak Republic, Finland, Austria, Romania and Belgium in a packed Group D of their European Championship, Division B pool, taking place in Sarajevo from 9 August-18 August.

The British Basketball Federation have said that arrangements for the Great Britain national age group programmes, including details on the preparation and selection process for the European Championships, will be communicated by the end of January 2019.

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.
