Croatia basketball Supercup Hamburg World Cup qualifiers Tomislav Mijatović Ivica Zubac

The Croatian men's national basketball team secured second place at the Supercup tournament in Hamburg following a series of competitive matches. After defeating Turkey 95-94 on Friday, Croatia fell to Germany 96-87 in the final.

Ivica Zubac led the team with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Mario Hezonja and Karlo Matković also contributed significantly with 19 and 17 points, respectively. Head coach Tomislav Mijatović noted that while the team struggled with ball security—losing 21 balls against Germany—the expanded rotation and competitive performance against top-tier opponents provided valuable preparation.

The team now shifts focus to the 2027 World Cup qualifiers, with upcoming matches scheduled against Latvia in Zadar and an away game against the Netherlands.
