FIBA 3×3 Europe Cup Finals: GB team, fixtures & how to watch

10th September 2021

Great Britain continues its 3×3 journey in Paris this weekend at the Europe Cup Finals. 

Stef Collins’ women’s team went undefeated in qualification in Romania earlier this summer to earn the right to a shot at the FIBA trophy. 

The GB men fell just short of reaching the French capital, but the women have a chance of glory – albeit against tough opposition – meeting well-fancied Russia and the Ukraine in the pool stage on 11 September and aiming to reach the final the following day. 

Some of the stars of the GB 5v5 team will again suit up for the 3×3 team aiming to further improve their ranking of 31st in the world.

There is one change from the team that shine in Romania. 

Chantelle Handy is unavailable and fellow GB 5v5 star Cheridene Green replaces her to give GB a different option. Newcastle’s Abby Lowe has travelled with the squad as a reserve. 

Temi Fagbenle, Shanice Beckford-Norton and Shequila Joseph, who all excelled in Constanta, continue. 

Team: Temi Fagbenle, Cheridene Green, Shanice Beckford-Norton, Shequila Joseph. Reserve: Abby Lowe 

Coach 

Stef Collins, also appointed as the Team England 3×3 women’s head coach for Birmingham 2022, again leads the team. 

The former GB guard has a wealth of club and international 5v5 playing experience and is an established WBBL coach with Cardiff met Archers. 

She said: “It will be important we focus on a few key areas and develop a gameplan in our pool stages that can play to our strengths. We’re very much looking forward to the Finals and the challenge ahead!

GB’s opponents 

Russia, No.2 in the women’s world rankings, won the Europe Cup in 2014 and 2017 and came away from this summer’s Olympic Games with a silver medal, while Ukraine, 22 in the world, took bronze in 2018 Europe Cup. 

GB, just starting out on their 3×3 journey, have amassed enough points already to be 31st in the women’s world rankings. 

How GB qualified 

GB qualified for the tournament with success in Romania earlier this month. 

They went undefeated throughout in Constanta knocking off second-seeds Hungary in their opening Pool B outing 17-12, before rounding out the pool games with a 21-13 win over Slovakia and winning their elimination game against Belarus. 

GBxBE 

GB teams were entered in the Europe Cup and U23 Nations League this summer as part of a collaboration between Great Britain Basketball and Basketball England. 

All players selected qualify to represent Team England and the dual aims for these two competitions are to help prepare Team England players for next year’s Commonwealth Games 3×3 event and to set about improving the GB national teams’ 3×3 rankings.
