The blue-yellows dropped to 37th place
Ukrainian men’s basketball team lost one position in the updated edition FIBA world rankings.
Vitaly Stepanovsky’s team dropped to 37th place, behind Tunisia. Among European teams, Ukraine is in 17th position.
Ukraine continues to remain an outsider in its Quartet A – it lost all four matches. Let us remind you that in February the blue-yellows lost away to Slovenia (73:87), and then lost to Portugal (77:79).
In November, Stepanovsky’s team lost to Israel with a score of 73:86. The repeat match also did not bring success to the blue-yellows (75:88).
Ukraine’s chances of qualifying for EuroBasket 2025 have dropped to theoretical. Israel and Portugal each have two victories after four rounds, while Slovenia is in the lead with three victories to its credit. Three of the four best quartet teams will advance further.
The Ukrainian team has two final games left to qualify, which will take place next year. On February 20 there will be a match with Slovenia, and on February 23 – with Portugal.
