The ninth 2019 European Championships for Men Division C has been awarded to the Bulgarian Basketball Federation.
Taking place over five days, the hosts will face six other countries – Serbia, Greece, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Ireland, and Portugal – in a bid to secure the Division C title.
Bulgaria will open the tournament against Hungary on Tuesday (30th July) at 18.00 (local time) followed by the Czech Republic and Portugal, who were drawn alongside them in pool A in the preliminary stages. Pool B consists of the three remaining teams – Serbia, Greece and Ireland.
Following the round robin stage, the top two in each pool will move forward to the semi-finals on Friday (2nd August), with the final and the 3rd/4th placed game being played on Saturday (3rd August).
To determine positions 5-7, the team ranked third in pool A receives a bye through to the 5th/6th placing game. They will meet the winner of the crossover game between the fourth ranked team in pool A and the third ranked team in pool B.
The European Championships for Men Division C takes place every two years and acts as a qualification tournament for the European Championship for Men Division B. The top two teams will be promoted to the European Championship Division B for Men scheduled to take place next year.
Belgium won the last Division C Championships in 2017, which took place Brno, Czech Republic.
