The Great Britain Under-16s and Under-18s know their opponents in the FIBA 2022 European Youth Championships after the draws were completed in Freising, Germany.

Following the decision to not enter the U20s into competition, GB will compete in the U16 Men’s, and U16 and U18 Women’s Division B, and the U18 Men’s Division B.

GB’s U16 Women’s will face Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Luxembourg and Austria in Group D of the U16 Women’s European Championship Division B in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 18-27 August.

The U18 Women’s squad will face Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal, Luxembourg and Macedonia in Group A of the U18 Women’s European Championship Division B in Austria from 5-14 August.

GB U16 Men’s side will head to Bulgaria for the U16 Men’s European Championship, Division B, from 11-20 August, where they will face Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sweden, Portugal, Belarus and Norway in Group C.

The U18 Men’s side will be competing in the European Championships’ top division and have France, Russia and Israel to contend with in Group A of the competition which takes place in Turkey from 30 July-7 August.

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.
