Basketball players of the national team will again play in the selection for the World Championship in the capital of Latvia.
The Ukrainian men’s basketball team will continue to host opponents in Riga. According to the official FBU website, the next home match of the 2023 World Cup qualifying tournament will take place in the capital of Latvia.
Recall that after the start of a large-scale attack on the Kremlin troops, “blue-yellow” held all their qualifying matches at home in Riga.
This time, on November 14, the wards of Ainars Bagatskis will have to measure their strength against the Icelandic team. The beginning of the meeting is at 16:00 Kyiv time.
This early start of the match is due to FIBA’s decision to hold all the games on the same day. At the end of the match Ukraine – Iceland in Arena Riga at 19:30, the rivalry Latvia – Greece will begin.
It should be noted that our team is in 5th place in group L of the 2023 World Cup qualification, with 1 win and 5 losses. The top three teams from the sextet will advance to the next round of selection.
Earlier, the head coach of the Ukrainian national basketball team, Ainars Bagatskis, commented on the extension of the contract with the national team.
