The Slovenian men’s basketball team qualified for the 2022 Eurobasket with wins against Ukraine and Austria in a mini “bubble” tournament held in Ljubljana’s Stožice Arena as part of the qualifying Group F.
Slovenia will thus be defending their gold medal from the previous European championship in 2017. Slovenia defeated Ukraine (84:73) on Saturday and Austria (77:64) on Sunday. Slovenia all but secured a berth at the EuroBasket before today’s match between Ukraine and Austria, and only needed Ukraine to win to make it; Ukraine did the favour by beating the Austrians in the last match of the Ljubljana bubble.
