FIBA EuroBasket 2015, is the 39th edition of the EuroBasket championship that is organised by FIBA Europe. It is taking place in 4 different countries (Croatia, France, Germany, and Latvia) making it the first EuroBasket to be held on more than one country. It started on the 5th of September and will be completed on the 20th.

The top two teams will qualify to the 2016 Summer Olympics. The next five teams advance to the World Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

Host selection

On 18 December 2011, FIBA Europe decided to let Ukraine host Eurobasket 2015, after France, Croatia, Germany and Italy withdrew their joint bid.[1] On 19 March 2014, tournament director Markiyan Lubkivsky announced that EuroBasket 2015 will not take place in Ukraine because of the political and financial crisis and the championship will be relocated.[2][3] But later, FIBA Europe was forced to deny reports that Ukraine had given up the hosting rights for EuroBasket 2015 due to the continuous political situation and security issues in Ukraine.[4] On 13 June 2014, FIBA Europe officially announced that Ukraine will not be hosting the championships.[5]

Sixteen countries had expressed an initial interest to bid for the relocated event. National Federations were called by FIBA Europe to officially bid for hosting the tournament or parts of the tournament until 31 July 2014. The day after FIBA Europe announced eight official bids from potential organizers:[6]

All interested federations were provided optionally to bid to stage either one of the four groups in the Group Phase of the tournament, one of the groups and the finals, or only the Final Phase. FIBA Europe was officially to announce details of the bids after 27 August 2014.[6]

Croatia, France and Turkey bid to organise one of the four Group Phase groups and the Final Phase knock-out round. Additionally Turkey bid to organise the Final Phase round only. All other countries bid to organise only one of the four Group Phase groups. Prior to the Board meeting Turkey withdrew their candidature from hosting any part of the tournament while Poland and Croatia withdrew their candidature to host the Final Phase of the tournament, leaving France as the only candidate to host the Final Phase.[7]

On 8 September 2014, it was announced that the EuroBasket 2015 tournament would be hosted in Germany (Berlin), Croatia (Zagreb), Latvia (Riga) and France (Montpellier), with each of the countries hosting one respective group during the group stage of the tournament. France will be the host of the knock-out phase and the finals in the city of Lille at the multifunctional Stade Pierre-Mauroy, which will have a 27,000 capacity.[7]

Draw

Seedings

FIBA Europe released the seedings for the EuroBasket 2015 draw on 27 November 2014.[9] According to the FIBA Europe regulations the participating nations, the 10 participants of the 2014 World Cup would be seeded first, based on their respective records in FIBA EuroBasket 2013, with the remaining teams seeded based on their qualification records.[9]

Final draw

The draw took place on 8 December 2014 at 16:00 at Disneyland in Paris, France.[10][11] Criteria for the draw was as follows:

  • The four hosts were drawn together, but as Latvia were amongst the third seeded teams and Germany the fifth, only three teams would be in fourth and sixth pot containing the remaining seeds and these teams could not be drawn into groups with Latvia and Germany respectively.
  • France and Croatia, as hosts, were drawn first and the two remaining first seeds, Spain and Lithuania, were drawn separately into the remaining two groups not already with a top-seeded team.
  • In addition to this, following on from the exceptional circumstances leading to the relocation of EuroBasket 2015, each of the four hosts was granted the right to select a partner federation for commercial and marketing criteria. These teams would automatically be placed into the same group as their chosen partner country. The selections were;
    • France and Finland
    • Germany and Turkey
    • Croatia and Slovenia
    • Latvia and Estonia [12] [13]
