The 'B' Division Championships commence on August 11, with GB’s first game taking place on August 12 against Norway. Subsequent fixtures will follow against Bosnia & Herzegovina, Sweden and Portugal in the pool stages of the competition.
U16 Men’s Head Coach Troy Culley said: “We are in Group C with four teams who are very different from a playing style perspective, with each team presenting us with a different challenge. With GB not playing in international competition for the last two years due to the pandemic, our opening game against Norway will be the first international game in a GB jersey for all 12 of our players.
“It will be a steep learning curve, and I expect to see our team improve as the tournament develops and I believe that we have the right blend across the team to be competitive.
“We have selected a dynamic group of players with a blend of skill, size, athleticism, and basketball IQ, but most importantly we’ve selected high-character individuals that will represent Great Britain the right way on the international stage.”
