U17 Classification 9-16: Wednesday 29 June

ZARAGOZA (2016 FIBA U17 World Championship) - It's all about bouncing back and trying to get the best final placement possible as the eight teams that didn't make the Quarter-Finals head to the Classification Round in Zaragoza to determine places 9-16.

Watch all of the action live on FIBA's YouTube channel.

Wednesday's games: 

Egypt v Finland 

Egypt need to beat tournament debutants Finland in order to have a chance to secure their best finish ever at the U17 Worlds. Egypt took 11th place in 2010 and 12th in 2012 and Branislav Jemc's team would love to take a top-10 spot. Finland meanwhile want to show they are not as poor as the team that lost by 22 points against France. 

Mali v Dominican Republic

Either Mali will book their second victory in their first-ever U17 Worlds appearance or the Dominican Republic will pick up their first win. Mali struggled offensively against Turkey and will look to play a bit better at that end. The Dominicans meanwhile made life difficult for Canada for a while until getting blown out.

Bosnia and Herzegovina v Chinese Taipei

U16 European champions Bosnia and Herzegovina had big hopes at the U17 Worlds but lost a thriller to Australia and now must bounce back against fellow debutants Chinese Taipei. The Asians are still looking for their first victory and know they face a tall task against the Bosnians.

Argentina v China

Argentina have collected at least three victories in all three of the previous U17 Worlds. But the South Americans are still looking for win number one in Zaragoza. They have struggled to execute on offence and will face a China team looking to bounce back from another disappointing loss against Korea, which has left them outside of the Quarter-Finals for the first time in U17 Worlds history.
