The national team needs your support on Sunday!

In the 2025 Eurobasket pre-qualification tournament, Luxembourg will host Albania on Sunday, February 27th in the Coque in Kirchberg (17:00).

In order to reach the big goal of grabbing a win in this competition, our national team needs your support! In our last home game against Romania, 1113 tickets were sold, around 1400 people were in the gym to support team Luxembourg and it was clearly a basketball evening to remember (article –> A basketball evening to remember – see you in February ). Our team has been playing extremely well lately and clearly has the quality to compete for a win. Another important factor will be the direct comparison. After losing game 1 by 3 points, Luxembourg will try to win this game by 4 points in order to earn the tie breaker in a potential tie in the standings at the end of the qualification. Already on Thursday, Romania and Albania will meet in Romania, so that team Luxembourg will have a chance to scout the opponent.

For this game, Ken Diederich nominated the following players:
Bob Melcher (Amicale Steinsel)
Philippe Gutenkauf (Etzella)
Yann Wolff (Etzella)
Mihailo Andjelkovic (AB Contern)
Malcolm Kreps (Résidence)
Ben Kovac (Den Helder Suns, Netherlands)
Alex Laurent (Kortrijk Spurs, Belgium)

Kevin Moura (T71)
Mike Feipel (Sparta)
Oliver Vujakovic (Tirol, Austria)
