U17 Games: Friday 1 July

ZARAGOZA (2016 FIBA U17 World Championship) - Friday is Semi-Finals day at the 2016 FIBA U17 World Championship in Zaragoza with the two battles as well as the Classification 5-8 games.

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

Follow the action live on the U17 Worlds live feed.

SEMI-FINALS

Turkey v Spain

With debutants Turkey and hosts Spain facing off in the Semi-Finals, a European country will reach the U17 Worlds Final for the time since Poland in 2010 with Spain hoping to become first home side to do so. These two teams faced off twice at the 2015 FIBA U16 European Championship, splitting the results with Turkey winning the game for third place and gaining a spot on the podium. The Turks played their best game of the U17 Worlds tournament in surprising Canada in the Quarter-Finals while Spain came back to beat Australia to book their third straight U17 Worlds Semi-Finals appearance - finishing fourth in both 2012 and 2014.  

USA v Lithuania

The USA are still undefeated at the U17 Worlds with their perfect record standing at 28-0 all-time after racing past Korea in the Quarter-Finals. Lithuania lost only once in Zaragoza, falling to hosts Spain in the Group Phase. The Lithuanians are back in the Semi-Finals for the first time since 2010, when they finished fourth. They showed against France that they can handle a supremely athletic side, winning in overtime. Can they end the USA run? 

CLASSIFICATION 5-8

Canada v Australia

Canada and Australia will go at it again for the right to play in the 5th Place Game. The two teams met in the opening Group C game with Canada winning 81-78. 

Korea v France

Korea and France square off to decide who plays for 5th or 7th place. It's a re-match of the opening game of the tournament, which Korea won in overtime.
