Greece U16 basketball team finishes sixth at EuroBasket

Overview

The Greece under-16 men’s basketball team arrived in Oradea, Romania, on 4 August 2026 for the EuroBasket U16 tournament (7–15 August). The 12-player roster, including point guard Kōos Babis Christodoulou (Olympiacos), was drawn into Group C with Spain, Israel and Georgia.

After suffering two consecutive losses against Spain (96-86 in overtime) and Israel (89-84), Greece secured a decisive 86-63 victory over Georgia to conclude its group stage obligations. During the win against Georgia, Andreas Barlo contributed 18 points, Thanas Spanos added 16 points and 8 rebounds, and Kōos Babis Christodoulou recorded 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. A momentary medical concern occurred when Spanos fell to the court during the match, but he was able to continue playing.

Moving into the knockout stage, Greece advanced to the round of 16 with an 83-78 victory over Slovenia in Oradea. Although Slovenia established an early 18-9 lead, Greece responded steadily to take the lead in the second quarter. The Greek team capitalized on 11 Slovenian turnovers to maintain a narrow advantage. Following a late tie at 78-78, Greece regained the lead through a play by Barlos to secure the win.

Greece’s tournament run ended in the quarterfinals, where they were eliminated by Latvia in a 92-80 loss. Despite Giorgos Monamas scoring 21 points, the Greek squad could not overcome the Latvian lead. Greece then moved into the 5th-8th place classification matches, securing a 102-84 victory over Poland. Andreas Barlos led the performance with 33 points, four rebounds, and three assists.

In the battle for fifth place, Greece faced Germany but ultimately lost 85-77, resulting in a sixth-place finish for the tournament. Giannis Spanos led the Greek scoring in the final match with 16 points and 13 rebounds, while Andreas Barlos added 13 points. Monamas and Christodoulou each contributed 11 points.
