Sweden's February home Qualifier vs. Turkey sets new record with over 7,500 tickets sold
The attendance of 7,506 spectators is set to be a record for a Sweden national team game
Sweden's FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 European Qualifier against Turkey at Stockholm's famous Hovet Arena on February 23 is already sold out, the country's basketball federation (SBBF) has announced.
The attendance of 7,506 spectators is set to be a record for a Sweden national team game.
The sellout against Turkey is all the more impressive as the Swedes opened their World Cup Qualifiers Group B campaign with two losses in November, at home to Ukraine and away to Latvia in Riga.
Sweden's ability to sell out the game more than a month before it take place is further testament to the power of the national team and how it can help the sport grow in popularity.
