GB Senior Women to play upcoming qualifier in Istanbul

By Bradley Gains on October 15, 2020

Great Britain’s Senior Women scheduled EuroBasket 2021 qualifier against Poland in November will now take place in Istanbul, Turkey.

FIBA announced that the next two windows would take place in designated ‘bubbles’ and GB’s group was without a host in last month’s announcement.

However, the undecided groups have now been confirmed with GB’s group – also containing Belarus – now paired with Group E, which contains Serbia, Lithuania, Albania and hosts, Turkey.

Chema Buceta’s side have a 1-1 record so far with their final game taking place in February.

The exact schedule for the November window as well as the hosts for the February window are still to be confirmed.

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.
