Israel national team to host Latvia in Riga in match with fans

In depth

The basketball federation announced that the Israel national team will host the Latvia national team in the city of Riga on November 30, and the match will be played in the presence of spectators. The decision was made as part of the understandings and warm relations between the Israeli basketball federation and the Latvian federation.

The upcoming match between the teams will be held with spectators, in contrast to the avoidance by European countries of Israeli matches before local audiences, so the decision marks a change in this regard.

The match against Latvia is scheduled for Monday, November 30, in Riga. Israel is in last place in Group K and needs a miracle to reach the Mundobasket.
