In a challenging matchup during the EuroBasket 2025 qualifiers, Great Britain’s national basketball team suffered a 90-82 defeat against the Czech Republic in Pardubice.
Leading the scoring for the hosts was Tomas Satoransky, who showcased his prowess with an impressive 21 points. Meanwhile, Sacha Killeya-Jones managed to contribute 19 points for Great Britain, but it wasn’t enough to secure victory.
Despite this setback, Marc Steutel’s side had a promising start to their Group F campaign, clinching a thrilling 98-94 win against the Netherlands in Newcastle just last Friday.
As the qualifiers progress, teams are fiercely competing for a spot in the Euros, which will be co-hosted by Latvia, Cyprus, Finland, and Poland. With only the top three sides from each group advancing, every match is crucial in determining qualification for the prestigious tournament.
The 42nd edition of EuroBasket is scheduled to take place between August 27 and September 14, 2025, promising exciting basketball action as Europe’s top teams vie for glory on the international stage.
