Great Britain’s Women Opened Their EuroBasket 2027 Qualifying Campaign With an Impressive 85–64 Win Over Switzerland at the National Basketball Performance Centre, Manchester.
Despite trailing 22–12 after the first quarter, the home side surged back with a 32-point second period to take a six-point lead into half-time.
GB extended their advantage after the interval, cruising to a convincing victory in their first Group D fixture of the opening qualifying round.
The top two teams from each of the seven groups, along with the three best third-placed teams, will progress to the second qualifying round.
We would also like to share a huge congratulations to debutant, Manchester Sports Awards 2025 finalist and Gorton’s very own Irene Oboavwoduo on her call-up to the Senior GB Squad – a fantastic achievement and a proud moment for our city!
