The curtain of EuroBasket 2025 may have opened on Wednesday (27/8), but our National Team enters the “battle” today. In a game that, in the balance of the Limassol group, may prove decisive for first place, against Italy (21:30, ERT News, Novasports Start).

Vassilis Spanoulis and his players want to start off on the right foot in the tournament, to take the first step. “We have had a very good preparation. We know, after four weeks of work, our strengths and weaknesses, we know what kind of team we are, and I have enormous confidence for this EuroBasket,” said the National Team coach.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo, as he stated, having no restrictions and playing for as long as he himself decides. On the other hand, of course, Italy has its own issues. With Gianmarco Pozzecco waiting to see the condition of Giampaolo Ricci and Nicola Akele, who are troubled by minor injuries. While he has a very special plan to deal with Giannis Antetokounmpo, with a… sniper.

In the other games of the group, Georgia faces Spain at 15:00 (Novasports Start, ERT1 – Live on Gazzetta), while Cyprus faces Bosnia (18:15, Novasports Start – Live on Gazzetta).
