Can this really be :GBR first win of a Eurobasket match in over a decade?

 

In 2022 and 2017 they went 0-5 whilst they failed to qualify in 2015 having gone 0-4 in qualifying. Back in 2013 - when GB were ranked 23 - they recorded wins over :ISR and ironically after the result earlier this week, they also beat :GER

The fact that the women's team isn't covered under this suggests it's not a genuine concern about the governance of the sport. It's a shame the national squad is getting caught up in a commercial dispute.

:GBR Women get their 2027 EuroBasket qualifying campaign underway with 3 matches coming up in the next week or so.

 

On Wednesday, they will face :SUI in Manchester before travelling to Vienna next Saturday to face :AUT and then Bergen on the following Tuesday to take on :NOR.

 

EuroBasket 2027 will be key qualifying route for LA Olympics and whilst they shouldn't have any great difficulty getting through to the second qualifying round - GB are the top seed in their group and only need to finish in the top 2 to progress - hopefully they are able to put in stronger performances than they did in last year's tournament.
