Bidding process

[edit]

 Romania – In March 2023, the president of the Romanian Basketball Federation, Carmen Tocală, said that they intend to apply to host Group games in a new 5,000 capacity multi-complex arena in Constanța. This would be their third time hosting, after 1966 and 2015.[1][2][3]

 Italy – On 14 July, the Italian Basketball Federation announced that they would bid for the hosting rights. This would be their eighth time hosting, after 1938, 1968, 1974, 1981, 1985, 1993 and 2007.[4][5]

On 7 September 2023, FIBA announced that the Czech Republic (Brno[6]), Germany (Hamburg[7]), Greece (Piraeus)[8] and Italy (unknown city) will host the tournament. Each country will host a group and the final round is scheduled to take place in Athens, Greece.[9] Bologna was selected as the host city for Italy on 11 December 2023, while on the same day, the final round was relocated from Athens to Piraeus.[10][11]
