Pristina will host FIBA European Challenger, for the U16 category, in men's competition.

Countries like Albania, Gibraltar, Luxembourg, Malta and Moldova will take part in the race.

All these nationals, including Kosovo, play within Group F.

The following is Periscope's full notice of the FBK concerning the event.

From 16 August to 21 August in Pristina will be the FIBA European Challenger for U16 in men's competition.

In addition to Kosovo, Albania, Gibraltar, Luxembourg, Malta and Moldova will also participate within the Group F. Nationals will be accommodated on August 14th.

Three matches will take place every day, at 2: 00 p.m. and 8:00.

The new Dardans hold the first challenge against Malta on 16 August. In all, they will hold five contests in groups, where they will determine which position the group and competitions end in.

FIBA Europe has decided that this summer all competitions of young age groups will be held as Challenger, not as before at Divisions, because of Covid 19. So there will be no ups and downs at Divisions.

FIBA Board of Europe entrusted the Kosovo Basketball Federation with a major organisation. This event was due to be held last year, attended by 11 countries, but because of the David 19 pandemic, all events in basketball were cancelled.

Earlier, FIBA entrusted Kosovo with hosting the European Championships, C Division for U18 men and the European Championships, the B Division for U20 women, as well as "Bubbble~ in February of this year, where Kosovo A competed (M), Slovakia, Iceland, and Luxembourg.

Even for this event, the FBK will hold all preparations so that the championship can go as planned. The FBK has earlier received FIBA congratulations on organisation. This organisation is not expected to be easy because of the 19-way rules with Ovidius, however, the Basketball Federation believes everything will go as planned. /Periscopi/
