Α group of four teams, France, Montenegro, Hungary, Portugal, will fight for a spot under the sun.
The first three will advance to the next round, with all results from this stage counting towards the standings and the final qualification. The 2023 World Cup will be held in Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines.
Hungary did what it had to do against the hosts in Portugal. The Magyars won 75-81 and gained the upper hand for the 3rd place and the qualification to the next phase of the Mundobasket qualifiers. Five out of twelve players in the Hungarian national team play for this season’s BCL surprise, Falco Sombatelli. The winners finished the game with 31/42 2p. shots, while the first scorer of the match, Falco’s guard, Z. Perl. scored 19 points. We need to mention that Hungary has never qualified for the Mundobasket… However, the locals are super excited with this prospect, and they have announced a sold out for the match against France.
France defeated Montenegro in Pau, but the score 73-67 won’t tell the truth. One way or another, they started their journey the right way! I. Cordinier (16 points) and N. Lang (13 points) stood out for the «tricolours». Vincent Collet, – the successful coach of the French – counts many noteworthy absences; nevertheless, its roster remains of top quality, and we don’t think they will face much trouble in this group.
