Germany Stays at Riga Hotel as €120,000 EuroBasket Move Falls Through

Organisers required the DBB to fund roughly 40 rooms, leaving the team in the much-criticised Radisson Park Inn.

Overview

  • FIBA Europe inspected the hotel’s catering after complaints, with meals reportedly improved and a focus on fresher options.
  • Players and staff cited cramped rooms, a location across the river in Agenskalns with longer transfers, and disruptive nighttime roadworks near the property.
  • The DBB requested a relocation upon arrival in Riga, but by Monday no switch had been arranged.
  • Other teams at the hotel, including Finland and Lithuania, have also raised concerns according to reports.
  • Germany plays Slovenia in the EuroBasket quarterfinal on Wednesday at 20:00, with live coverage on RTL and MagentaSport.
