Inaugural Champion U18 All-Star Game participants named

August 3, 2009

At the close of the FIBA U18 European Championship Men tournament last weekend, FIBA Europe announced yet another international event to put on the youth basketball calendar. Christened the “Champion U18 All-Star Game,” FIBA officials will gather together 30 of the top U18 players from Europe, including 24 from the championship tournament, to tip it off on September 18th and the EuroBasket 2009 quarterfinals.

Hey, i’m just pleased we’ll get another look at the Turkish basketball machine, Enes Kanter, sooner rather than later…

(FIBA Europe) — FIBA Europe announced the candidates for the Champion U18 All Star Game to be played in Poland, 18th September 2009.

FIBA Europe Coaching Certificate mentor Svetlislav Pesic and coaching coordinator Michael Schwarz selected 24 players from the 16 teams participating in the U18 European Championship Men 2009 which ended in Metz, France, Sunday.

“You are part of history in the making as this is the first time this event will be organized,” Pesic told the 24 players who picked up their nominations during the event’s closing ceremony in front of a capacity crowd of 3,200 at Les Arenes of Metz.

These 24 candidates are joined by the five members of the 2009 U18 European Championship Men, Division B All Tournament Team and the MVP of the Division C tournament to form a group of 30.

The final rosters will be announced on 24th August 2009.

The Champion U18 All Star Game is an original event which will take place in Katowice, Poland, the venue of the EuroBasket 2009 finals, 16th -19th September, featuring European basketball’s top talent in the age category.

The actual Game will be played on Friday, 18th September before the Quarter-Finals of EuroBasket 2009. It will be broadcast live around Europe.

The costs at the camp, including travel for the players from their country to Poland and insurance, are covered by FIBA Europe and the players will be FIBA Europe’s guests to watch the games of the EuroBasket during their stay in Poland.

The Champion U18 All Star Game is run in conjunction with the EuroBasket 2009 Organising Committee and the FIBA Europe Coaching Certificate (FECC).
