Get ready for a hellish battle on the court! Latvia has announced a broad roster of 25 players for the upcoming 2024 European Basketball Championship, taking place from August 27 to September 14.

Latvia will face Portugal, Estonia, Turkey, Serbia, and the Czech Republic — and this is no walk in the park!
Kristaps Porzingis, known as one of Europe’s top basketball talents, leads a team ready to fight and shock the continent. Alongside him are names like Rodions Kurucs, Ojars Silinš, Mareks Mejeris, Davis Bertans, and many others playing in strong European and global clubs. But will it be enough to advance from a group that includes Serbia, the host and a favorite?
Latvia is famous for its fighting spirit and tactical play, but the opponents are brutally strong. Serbia, as the host, enjoys massive home support, while Turkey and the Czech Republic are teams you can’t underestimate. Portugal and Estonia are also ready to battle for every point. This will be a true basketball drama, and Latvia will have to show its teeth if it wants to move forward.
Preparations start on July 7, with coach Luka Banki facing the tough job of trimming the squad to 12 players. Five friendly matches before the tournament will be crucial for team chemistry and tactics. Fans are already buzzing with excitement, and the atmosphere in Riga will be hotter than ever.
