Head coach Denis Toroman:
„I am extremely proud of what this group accomplished and the way they performed throughout the tournament.
This result is the reward for six weeks of good preparation, built on years of player development and continuous work within both the federation and the clubs. This success is also the result of the strategic decisions and continuous support the federation has provided over the last few years. Improved organization, clear communication, inclusive leadership, and an environment where coaches and players can focus entirely on basketball are creating a strong foundation for the future of Luxembourg basketball.
Perhaps the achievement that means the most is receiving the Sportsmanship Award. Results are important, but the way a team achieves them matters even more.
Throughout the tournament, our players competed with passion while showing respect, humility, and class, both on and off the court.
Finally, a huge thank you to our players and every member of the staff. The players embraced every challenge and gave everything they had, while our staff worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the team had everything it needed to succeed. This achievement is the result of their commitment, professionalism, and teamwork, and they deserve all the credit.“
