Finland has played in 17 EuroBasket tournaments, with their best finish coming in sixth place at EuroBasket 1967, on home soil. Finland has appeared at the Olympic Games twice, in 1952 as hosts, and 1964. Finland has also qualified for the FIBA World Cup twice, in 2014 and 2023.

Early years

[edit]

The Finnish Basketball Association was founded in February 1939. A few months earlier the Finnish Football Federation had decided to add basketball to its own repertoire. Finland first competed at the European championship at its third installment, the EuroBasket 1939. In the round-robin, they initially struggled and lost to each of the other seven teams and finished with a 70–541 overall point differential.

1950s

[edit]

Finland's next European competition was 12 years later, at the EuroBasket 1951 in Paris. Overall, they fared much better and split their four preliminary round games and finished at third place in the group at 2–2 but were eliminated from championship contention. They had success after that, winning all three of their classification round 1 games and both round 2 games to finish in 9th place of the 18 teams.

In 1952, by virtue of hosting the games in Helsinki, Finland played at the Summer Olympics for the first time. The national team finished at the bottom of Group B in the preliminary round losing all of its game to the Soviet Union, Bulgaria and Mexico, and failing to advance.[2]

Finland used this international experience when they competed again at the EuroBasket 1953 in Moscow. In the preliminary round, they finished with 1 win and 3 losses for 4th place of the 5 teams in the group. They fared significantly better in the first classification round, winning 3 and losing only 1 to finish in the middle of a three-way tie in the group. They lost both the 9–12 and 11/12 classification games, however, taking 12th place of 17 overall.

At the next event, Finland had some difficulty in the preliminary round of EuroBasket 1955. They lost all three early games in Budapest and were relegated to the classification round. Once again, not faced with the world elite opponents anymore, the Fins shone in the classification round and won all four of the pool play games. They won their classification 9–12 match as well, but lost to France in the 9/10 final to finish 10th of 18 in the tournament.

In Sofia, at the EuroBasket 1957, the Finns finished third in their preliminary group after going 1–2. They moved to the 9–16 classification pool and won five games there with only one loss. They took 11th place overall in the tournament.

Modern era

[edit]
Finland after defeating France at EuroBasket 2017.

At the EuroBasket 1995 in Greece, was Finland's first qualification to the top European basketball tournament since 1977. The national team did not fair too well at the event though. As they were routed in their first match against Russia 126–74, and ultimately led to them finishing with an 0–6 record (13th place) and were eliminated.

Finland qualified for the EuroBasket 2011. The tournament berth was the first for Finland in 16 years. There they finished third out of six teams in EuroBasket 2011 Group C and defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 92–64 and Montenegro 71–65. This allowed them to they qualify for the EuroBasket 2011 Group F. In their first match they were easily defeated by Russia but afterwards they defeated Georgia, before losing to Slovenia in their final match of the tournament. Despite not making it to the best of 8 tournament, Finland ended up making it to their first ever FIBA World Cup as a wild card team alongside Greece, Turkey, and Brazil.

Finland was selected one of the co-hosts for the EuroBasket 2017. Tournament's Group A was played in Helsinki, at the venue then called Hartwall Arena. Finland finished second in the group with wins against France, Poland, Greece and Iceland, and advanced to the round of 16 where they were defeated by Italy. They ultimately finished 11th in the competition

After not qualifying for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, Finland performed well at the 2022 EuroBasket. They finished second in their group again, after Serbia. Led by Lauri Markkanen and his historical 43-point performance, they defeated Croatia in the round of 16. Eventually they were knocked out of the competition in the quarter-finals by Spain and finished 7th in the tournament. This was the nation's best finish since 1967, when they were sixth. The event was also a farewell for the captain Shawn Huff and long-served point guard Petteri Koponen as they both announced their retirement after the tournament.

Finland also qualified for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, as the first nation from Europe to make it through in the qualifiers. They lost their group stage games against Australia, Germany and Japan in Okinawa, but performed well in the classification games against Cape Verde and Venezuela, finishing the tournament with two wins in the 21st place.

In early July 2024, Finland competed at the 2024 FIBA Olympic qualifying tournement in Valencia, Spain. Without Markkanen, they unexpectedly made it through to the tournament's final round, but were knocked out of the competition by Spain again. Mikael Jantunen was named in the tournament's All-Star Five.
