Semi-Finals

Croatia v Lithuania

Spain v Turkey

The last time these two teams didn’t meet at an U16 European Championship was in 2008 with Spain holding a 6-3 record in that span. La Roja have lost in the Semi-Finals for the past two years and were beaten into third by Turkey in 2015. Spain have been getting stronger all tournament and will look to contain Eray Akyuz, who has been a leading guard in the competition.
