Poland will be one of the co-host countries of the EuroBasket 2025 as TVP Sport reported and was later officially announced y the Polish Federation. The Group Stage of the tournament will be once again held in four different countries, which are Latvia, Cyprus, and Finland apart from Poland.
This will be the third time that Poland will host EuroBasket games after 1963 and 2009 when all competition matches took place in the same country. Now, six cities are reported to have submitted a candidacy to host Group games, including Krakow and Gliwice. Poland takes the place of war-torn Ukraine, which was originally a candidate to host.
In the 2022 EuroBasket that is currently being played, the Polish national team was responsible for one of the biggest upsets in history by eliminating reigning champion Slovenia in the quarterfinals. Spain beat Poland in the semifinal but the latter still has a chance to win the first-ever medal since 1967 in the third-place game vs. host Germany.
