Today GB Basketball named their 24-man squad for the upcoming FIBA EuroBasket 2021 Qualifiers with an Eagle on the roster.
Our Eagles Community Arena plays host to the Great Britain against Germany game on Monday 24 February 2020 and a number of the players suiting up for GB will find the venue a familiar court with visits in their BBL team’s fixtures, but for one of the team in particular it’s now a home-court advantage.
BOOK TICKETS NOW FOR GB VS GERMANYGreat Britain head into the final round of FIBA EuroBasket 2021 Qualifying lead by Newcastle-based acting head coach Marc Steutel and riding high on a seven game FIBA winning streak, the best in programme history. The streak stretches all the way back to December 3rd, 2018 when GB beat Cyprus in the second round of EuroBasket pre-qualifying.
With a current world ranking of #41, Great Britain are the underdogs in Group G which includes #5 France, #18 Germany, and #26 Montenegro. Three teams from each qualifying group advance to FIBA EuroBasket 2021. However, as Germany are automatic qualifiers, only the top two teams in Group G are guaranteed to qualify.
The roster features a core group of players from GB’s successful EuroBasket pre-qualifying campaign supplemented by some exciting additions.
