LJUBLJANA (Slovenia) - The draw to determine the early designation of groups to the host cities of FIBA EuroBasket 2025 took place in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana on Saturday.

The request of the four hosts to allocate the groups to the host cities for the 42nd edition of tournament in advance was approved by the FIBA Europe Board in its June meeting.

The results of the draw are as follows:

Group A will be played in Riga, Latvia;
Group B will be played in Tampere, Finland;
Group C will be played in Limassol, Cyprus;
Group D will be played in Katowice, Poland.

The Board also approved a proposal to add an extra rest day to the competition system for the upcoming tournament, following recommendations by the National Federations and the evaluation by the Competitions Commission seeking to protect the health and well-being of the players.

This means that FIBA EuroBasket 2025 will take place from August 27 to September 14, with the Group Phase played across the four host cities and the Final Phase moving to Riga.
