FIBA Women’s EuroBasket warm up

Wednesday 19th June, 19:30 tip

Belle Vue Sports Village

Intro

GB Women welcome Canada to Manchester in the only home warm up game before the squad fly to FIBA Women’s EuroBasket next week.

Having previously faced Slovenia and Sweden in Slovenia, Head Coach Chema Buceta and his staff will be getting another chance to see the players in action as they cut the roster down to 12 for the tournament.

The opposition: Canada

With Toronto Raptors winning the NBA Finals for the first time last week, it’s a good time for Canadian Basketball and the Women will be eager to build on the momentum.

Currently ranked fifth in the world, Canada Women are in the middle of a five-game European tour as they themselves prepare for a busy summer of competitions including FIBA Women’s AmeriCup 2019, Lima 2019 Pan-Am Games and the FIBA Women’s Pre-Qualifying Tournaments.

The Canadians are currently 0-3 on the tour, losing to China (69-60), Belgium (68-64) and most recently GB’s EuroBasket opponents Spain (87-59).

Team’s thoughts

GB’s Eilidh Simpson is looking forward to welcoming Canada to Belle Vue in front of a home crowd:

“Nothing beats it! In Manchester, we always seem to get a great crowd, almost sold out, so there’s nothing like playing in front of the home crowd. Especially with the GB across your chest, playing in front of the fans.”

“It always seems to go down to the wire, an overtime game or a less than five-point game, they’re always amazing games here, it’s great.”
