Great Britain’s Senior Women now know their path to make it to FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2021 after the qualifiers draw was conducted in Munich, today.

Chema Buceta’s side made history in Riga and Belgrade with a fourth place finish after making it to the quarter-finals for the first time as well as securing a spot in the 2020 Olympic Qualifying tournaments.

GB were amongst the top seeds for the draw – which did not include the recent EuroBasket finalists Spain and France, who will host the next edition – and they were placed in Group F alongside Belarus and Poland in one of the three-team groups.

The qualifiers will begin in November later this year before waiting 12 months for the second window before finishing up in February of 2021.

Initial schedule:
14 Nov 2019 v Poland 🇵🇱 (A)
17 Nov 2019 v Belarus 🇧🇾 (H)
15 Nov 2020 v Poland 🇵🇱 (H)
04 Feb 2021 v Belarus 🇧🇾 (A)

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.
