The Lithuanian Basketball Federation (LKF) submitted an official request to host this tournament on Monday, and learned today that Darius Maskoliūnas students will not lose their home advantage and will play matches with the Belgian and Danish teams at home. . Lithuania is expected to face Denmark on November 27 and the Czech Republic to face Belgium. On November 29, the Belgian team will be waiting for the Lithuanians, and Denmark will test their strength with the Czech Republic.
“Eight groups applied for eight groups, but to our knowledge, the countries in our group, having learned that we are nominating and have an advantage over two home games, did not apply. We are happy to have maintained that home advantage for our team.
The hosts of the February “bubble” should already be identified in December. There are already many applicants who have also applied to host those qualifying tournaments. We don’t have an advantage there, but if we were good at evaluating now, anything could be. First of all, we have to organize the next tournament well, ”said Mindaugas Špokas, general secretary and director of the LKF.
The women’s national team will play in the European Championship qualifiers in Istanbul in November. According to the original plan, Mantas Šernius pupils had to play Group E matches with Serbia (November 12) at home, and later (November 14) meet Albanian basketball players at the exit. The exact dates of the women’s “bubble” match will be confirmed in the near future.
