Germany Reaches EuroBasket Quarterfinals as DBB Seeks Riga Hotel Switch

The request to FIBA cites noise, catering issues, poor beds at the assigned team accommodation.

Overview

  • Germany defeated Portugal 85:58 to book a place in the EuroBasket 2025 quarterfinals.
  • Germany will face either Slovenia featuring Luka Dončić or Italy in the next round.
  • DBB vice president Armin Andres said a formal application to change hotels was submitted because the current site does not meet tournament requirements.
  • Sportschau reported complaints about traffic and construction noise, unsatisfactory catering, subpar beds, and an undesirable location across the Daugava rather than in Riga’s Old Town.
  • A relocation could happen as early as Monday if approved, while the tournament runs 27 August to 14 September with German games on RTL and all matches on MagentaTV/MagentaSport.
