2022 European Championship – EUROBASKET 2022 is the highest basketball event, both in terms of sports achievements of the participating countries, as well as in terms of the country as a host and organizer of international importance. Georgia won the right to host the 2022 European Championship in 2019 with Italy (Milan), Germany (Cologne, Berlin) and the Czech Republic (Prague). The right to hold an event in Georgia (Tbilisi) is an expression of trust in our country from the European sports and non-sports community.
At the initiative of the Georgian National Basketball Federation, in September 2022 Tbilisi will become the center of world attention by hosting teams such as world and European champions and top basketball teams (Spain, Turkey, Belgium, Russia, Bulgaria). Within the framework of EuroBasket 2022, guests and fans of the highest rank and importance of these countries will visit Tbilisi, which will significantly contribute to the popularization of sports tourism in our country.
