Montenegro will compete in Group B at the European Championship in Tampere alongside host nation Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Sweden, and Great Britain. The top four teams from this group will progress to the round of 16.
“Germany and Lithuania stand out as the favorites. The remaining teams will battle for advancement. We’ve faced Germany and Sweden in the EuroBasket qualification group; now we face teams with a different playing style. Realistically, we have a group where we can aim for the round of 16. All teams are formidable, and I hope we can present our strongest lineup at the championship, ensuring we are truly competitive for advancement,” coach Boško Radović stated to “Vijesti” after the draw.
This marks Montenegro’s fifth appearance in EuroBasket history and the third consecutive time. In the last championship, three years ago, Montenegro was halted by Germany in the round of 16 in Berlin.
