The team composed of Georgian U-16 teams left for Lithuania, where it will play in the European Youth Basketball League. The tournament was supposed to start in November, but was postponed due to the Covid-Pandemic and will start today.
The format is traditionally unchanged. There are 16 teams in the league and the regular championship will be held in 3 rounds. Teams will play 5-5 matches during each round. The first round is hosted by the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, where our team coached by Irakli Cherqezishvili expects 5 rivals:
