In the period of the following two weeks, the U20 European Championship Divisions A and B will take place in Greece and Romania, with plenty of already established ABA League players might be representing their countries at the events, such as Vanja Marinković, Boriša Simanić, Žan Mark Šiško, Domagoj Vrkić and others.

Croatia will be the one of the ABA League countries’ U20 national teams to step on court at the U20 European Championships, as they will face Kosovo during the Gameday 1 of the B Division, which will take place in Oradea, Romania. Besides the Croatian side, the Macedonian one will also compete in the Division B.

A day later, the competition in Crete, Greece, will begin. Three ABA League countries will have their national teams at that event, featuring Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia.

Last summer Spain were the ones to take the gold in Division A, beating Lithuania in the final, while Turkey emerged victorious from the bronze medal game. Two years ago, Serbia were the champions of the Division A.
