FIBA Europe president Demirel says Eurobasket 2017 won't be re-located from Turkey
The draw is expected for November 22
FIBA Europe Presidente Turgay Demirel said that Eurobasket 2017 won’t be re-located from Turkey.
Istanbul will host one of the four groups and the entire second round. The first phase will be also played in Helsinki (Finland), Cluj (Romania) and Tel Aviv (Israel).
There was a failed coup in the country two weeks ago and FIBA Europe was forced to postpone the Under 18 European Championship.
Per Eurohoops, EuroBasket 2017 is ahead of us. Alongside the three others (Finland, Israel and Romania), the competition will be hosted by Turkey. We are more than a year away from EuroBasket 2017 and Turkey has a good reputation of hosting such organizations. Thus, none of the federations actually has a question mark regarding the ability of Turkey to host EuroBasket 2017. I have very positive feedbacks from federations that they have no concerns in regards to Turkey hosting EuroBasket 2017. Eurobasket 2017 is expected to be done without any problems. The draw will be held in Turkey on November 22th.
