Overview

• Tipoff is 20:00 CEST at Riga’s Xiaomi Arena, with free-to-air coverage on RTL and streams on Magenta Sport and RTL+ (paid).
• Germany reached the final by beating Finland 98:86, Turkey advanced with a 94:68 win over Greece, and the matchup puts Germany’s first Euro crown since 1993 against Turkey’s bid for a first major title.
• The Turkish federation dismissed a social-media staffer after a late-night “No Mercy” post featuring Cedi Osman over Giannis Antetokounmpo; the post was deleted, an apology followed, and Greece filed a complaint with FIBA.
• Turkey’s football federation moved Fenerbahçe–Trabzonspor and Gaziantep FK–Kocaelispor kickoffs to 18:00 so they finish before the 20:00 basketball final.
• Media reports say Germany’s President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan were expected to attend the game, though this has not been officially confirmed.
