Great Britain's men’s basketball team is gearing up for a pivotal challenge as they take on Greece in the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers on Thursday 21st November at Copper Box Arena.
GB Basketball’s Head coach Marc Steutel’s side comes off the back of a busy summer, including a return to London for the Subway Summer Slam, where they narrowly lost to South Sudan 84-81.
The summer games served as a key opportunity to introduce fresh talent and expand GB’s player pool, setting the stage for the qualifiers. Steutel has been optimistic about the team’s progress, stating, “The positives we will take from our games this summer, we can carry over to Greece.”
Facing a formidable Greek side, led by European legend Vassilis Spanoulis and featuring stars like Kostas Antetokounmpo and Nick Calathes, Team GB knows the challenge ahead. Veteran Myles Hesson, who impressed with 28 points against South Sudan, is confident saying, “We have the talent pool and we want to win both our games against Greece, simple.”
Team GB is looking to capitalise on their home-court advantage at Copper Box Arena with a 25% early bird discount available until Monday 4th November.
