Paris – The men’s Euro 2021 basketball championship has been postponed to 2022 following the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics due to the coronavirus pandemic, while the women’s Euro in France has been maintained for the end of June 2021, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) announced on Thursday.
The men’s Euro was initially scheduled to be held in Germany, Italy, Georgia and the Czech Republic from August 17 to September 1, 2021, just after the new dates of the Olympic Games (July 23 to August 8).
