Some results for the British Squads:

 

Women’s Eurobasket 2025

 70 v   85

 66 v  75

 67 v  80

 

 

Men’s 3x3 World Cup 2025

 19 v  20

 16 v  21

 18 v  21

 21 v  19

Neither squad progressed past the preliminaries, but positive to see GB qualifying for these events.

Disappointing for the women, who should be doing better than failing to win a match - pretty decent for the men who might be in a decent position to challenge for LA qualification.

OK - plenty of action to catch up here across the disciplines and age groups.

 

3x3 Youth Nations League 2025:

Both the men and women compete in the Europe 2 league with 6 rounds of competition across July in Bucharest and Szolnok.

 

In Round 1,  defeated  15-13 before easing past  21-5 to top their pool. In the final they faced  and came through with a 20-17 victory to win Round 1. 

 

In Round 2,  opened their pool with a 21-18 win over  before inflicting a second defeat on , coming through 16-11 to top the pool and qualify for the final where they came up against .  prevailed with a 19-11 victory. 

 

Having won both of the opening 2 rounds,  had an off day when it came to Round 3 falling to a 22-20 overtime defeat at the hands of  before another narrow 21-19 loss to  leaving them 5th overall. 

 

On the women's side, in Round 1,  were soundly beaten by  in the opening pool game before bouncing back with hard fought 16-14 win over  to finish 2nd in the pool for 5th overall.

 

In Round 2,  lost their opening pool match to  21-16 before defeating  21-15. Again they finished 2nd in the pool but their performance was enough to secure 3rd overall.

 

Like the men, the  women had an off-day when it came to Round 3, falling to a 21-11 defeat at the hands of  before being swept aside 21-5 by  leaving them bottom of the pool at 6th overall. 

 

 

At the halfway point of the competition, the  men are at the top of the league with 250 points ahead of  (230) and  (200). The  women currently sit 5th with 165 points behind  (280),  (260),  (185) and  (180).

Last month the senior men's and women's 3x3 squads were both in action trying to secure qualification for the Europe Cup 2025. The hopes were high for the men after they had secured qualification for the World Cup in Mongolia.

 

The  women opened their campaign with a 17-16 win over . This was followed by a more comfortable 17-10 victory over . In a busy day of action, they finished up with another comfortable win - this time over  with GB running out 21-11 victors to maintain their 100% record.  made it 4 wins from 4 with a 15-13 victory over  to secure their place in Europe Cup 2025. 

 

The men's path to qualification was decidedly tougher. Opening their pool with a comfortable 22-12 victory over  but couldn't match , ultimately falling to a 21-14 defeat. This set up a winner takes all match against . GB were never ahead and although they managed to keep the score tight, they would ultimately fall to a 20-15 defeat to end their hopes of qualification.

 women's 3x3 team made their competing for the first time in the FIBA 3x3 Series in Sumgait  today.

 

They won both their matches in the qualifying draw - against a Japanese team and Madagascar - to qualify for the main draw where they were up against Latvia and CS Rapid Bucharest.

 

They were pretty much overwhelmed by Latvia - losing 19-3 - but they kept it much closer in their match against CS Rapid Bucharest going down to a 21-17 defeat. 

 

Hopefully the team will also be competing in the next couple of legs - in Edmonton and Bordeaux next month.
