The European U20 Basketball Championship (Division B) has ended in Yerevan

From July 11 to 20, the European U20 Basketball Championship (Division B) took place in the capital of Armenia.

Latvia won the tournament, confidently defeating Croatia in the final — 74:64. Turkey claimed the bronze medals.

As a result, Latvia, Croatia, and Turkey earned promotion and will compete in Division A next year.

Replacing them in Division B will be Iceland, Finland, and Ukraine, which were relegated from the top tier.

The Armenian national team finished 16th out of 21 teams — an improvement over their 19th-place finish in 2024. In seven games, Armenia secured one win — against Estonia.

However, the Armenian players had several very close games, losing by just 1–2 points.
