PRESSKIT

FIBA EuroBasket 2022 marks the 41st edition of the continental showpiece event and will be held in Czech Republic, Georgia, Italy and Germany. From September 1-18, 2022, Europe’s best players will come together in the cities of Berlin, Cologne, Milan, Prague and Tbilisi to fight for the title. With the four co-hosts qualified automatically, the remaining 20 teams punched their tickets via the Qualifiers, which were held over three windows, in February 2020, November 2020 and February 2021.

The Draw will see the 24 qualified teams being drawn into four groups of six teams each, with the seedings determined by the FIBA World Ranking Men, presented by Nike.

Respecting the seedings, FIBA EuroBasket 2022 hosts Czech Republic, Georgia, Germany and Italy had the right to choose a partner federation that will play the Group Phase in the respective country.

The official mascot of the FIBA EuroBasket 2022 will be presented at the Draw Ceremony in Berlin.

Who is he?

Some say he was once a baller on the court. Others are convinced he’s a chart-topping DJ.

It’s even been suggested he comes from the future, having tumbled through a gap in time.

The truth is, no one knows for sure.

What we do know is he goes by the name of Bounce.
