The EuroBasket
championships involve basketball teams from across Europe competing for one of
the biggest prizes in the sport.
Held every two years, the
2021 edition will be co-hosted by France and reigning champions Spain, who beat
the French in Belgrade earlier this year.
Great Britain finished
fourth in 2019, their best ever finish in the tournament, and will be looking to
build on that performance throughout the qualifying rounds - and got off to a flyer with a 75-63 victory over Poland on Thursday.
This is the first of three
windows during which qualifiers for EuroBasket Women 2021 will be played.
Qualification will continue on November 8-16, 2020 and January 31-February 8,
2021.
