Serbia in our group has good news / day
It has already been reported that Serbia, Portugal, the Czech Republic and Estonia joined Latvia in the Sub -Group of the 2025 European Championship in Riga.
« It was clear before the lottery that the teams were so similar in all baskets that there was no difference in return. Watching from the teams of the first basket, the fact that Serbia is in our group has good news because they would not be opposite in the playoffs, » Bertan explained.
« It’s hard to say handy or unoccupied opponents. If we remember as before the World Cup, then said we were in the » death group « and we deal with it. I repeat, but we have to look at ourselves, prepare well and play, » he continued.
Bertan revealed that before the draw, he had no team, which he would particularly like to see in a group with Latvia.
« Maybe if France were and (Victor) Vembanjama played, all Latvian viewers would have the opportunity to see him, but given that they would probably be further, there will be a chance, » the captain of the team added.
It is possible that both Serbian basketball and Serbian men’s football team will play in Riga on September 6, playing with Latvian footballers in the 2026 World Cup qualifying game. Bertan highlighted that it could make the atmosphere in Riga an even better atmosphere.
« Serbian fans are also known as very attractive, gambling. It will only forgive the extra festive tournament, » said the basketball player.
Previously, Latvia hosted the European Championship Group Tournament in 2015, reaching the quarter -finals of this tournament in this tournament. Bertan pointed out that since 2015, higher results from Latvian basketball players have been expected to achieve the quarter -finals.
« If in that 2015 we were really happy to move on to the next round, we have now set up the bar for ourselves.
In the European Basketball Championship Finals, 24 teams in four groups will play in Riga, Tampere, Katowice and Limassol at the end of August and early September. The top four teams will qualify for the playoffs in Riga, finding out the medal winners in the first half of September.
