FRENCH AWAIT GB MEN
Great Britain will have a tough route to EuroBasket 2021 if they survive the next phase.
Should GB’s men overcome Kosovo and Luxembourg in August’s pre-qualifiers, they will play in Group G of the qualifiers proper against Germany, Montenegro and the superpower of France, with the top two reaching the finals.
Games will be played across three windows in February (17-25, 2020), November-December (23/11-1/12, 2020) and February (15-23, 2021) with a pair of matches in every window.
Co-hosts Czech Republic, Georgia, Germany, and Italy will participate in Qualifiers, but will advance regardless of their results. The three top teams from each group without a hosting National Team will advance, the two highest-placed teams aside the hosting National Team will advance from other groups.
EuroBasket 2021 Qualifiers:
Group A: Spain, Poland, Israel and Slovakia/Cyprus/Romania.
Group B: Russia, Italy, North Macedonia and Estonia.
Group C: Lithuania, Czech Republic, Belgium and Albania/Belarus/Denmark.
Group D: Croatia, Turkey, Netherlands and Sweden.
Group E: Serbia, Finland, Georgia and Switzerland/Portugal/Iceland.
Group F: Slovenia, Ukraine, Hungary and Austria.
Group G: France, Germany, Montenegro and Luxemburg/Kosovo/Great Britain.
Group H: Greece, Latvia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bulgaria.
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.
