Overview

  • Germany advanced to the EuroBasket 2025 quarterfinals with an 85:58 win over Portugal and now faces Slovenia.
  • DBB vice president Armin Andres said the assigned hotel in Riga does not meet tournament requirements and confirmed an official application to FIBA to relocate.
  • The concerns reported include constant noise from a major road and a construction site, unsatisfactory catering and beds, and a less preferred location across the Daugava.
  • The request was filed the day the team moved into the hotel, and a change could occur as early as Monday if FIBA approves and suitable rooms are available.
  • EuroBasket 2025 is staged across Latvia, Finland, Poland and Cyprus, with RTL showing Germany’s games on free TV and all matches streaming on MagentaTV/MagentaSport.
