Τhe Eurobasket 2015 groups

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

The EuroBasket 2015 Draw took place in Disneyland, Paris, with four host nations and the countdown already started. Read the Groups and watch the video of the draw again.

Following on from the exceptional circumstances leading to the relocation of EuroBasket 2015 from Ukraine to four host nations – Croatia, France, Germany and Latvia – at short notice, each of the four hosts was granted the right to select a partner Federation for commercial and marketing criteria.

With this in mind, it was already known prior to the Draw that Slovenia must be drawn into the same group as Croatia, Finland into the same group as France, Turkey into the same group as Germany and Estonia into the same group as Latvia.

The draw procedure

All eight of these teams will still be drawn from their respective pots depending on their seedings in the Draw. First of all, the four host nations will be drawn with the first country drawn going into Group A, the second into Group B, the third into Group C and the fourth into Group D.

Following this, the remaining teams will be drawn, based on their seeding, with each team going to the next available spot on each seeded line. The exception to this rule will be when the four partner Federations are drawn, as they will be directly placed into the same group as their respective partners. You can also see the video explanation of the procedure.
