The EuroBasket 2017 will be the 40th edition of the EuroBasket championship that is organized by FIBA Europe. Beginning from 2017, the continental championships will take place every four years with a similar system of qualification as for the FIBA Basketball World Cup.[1]
Host selection[edit]
Following the decision to relocate the 2015 tournament, original hosts Ukraine were offered the chance to host the 2017 edition, but they declined, citing the ongoing unrest in the country.[2] Countries expressed interest in hosting were Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland (possible joint bid),[3][4] Serbia, Republic of Macedonia, and Bulgaria (possible joint bid),[5] United Kingdom,[6][7] Israel,[8] Poland,[9] Slovenia,[10] Belgium.[11]
On 5 November 2015, FIBA Europe announced that five national federations have applied to organise the EuroBasket 2017: Finland, Israel, Poland, Romania and Turkey.[12]
On 11 December 2015, FIBA Europe announced that the tournament will be hosted by four countries: Israel, Romania, Finland and Turkey with the knockout stage host at the Sinan Erdem Dome in Istanbul.[13]
