European Qualifiers game to be played in June-July, says FIBA

A basketball match between Ukraine and Spain scheduled for Sunday has been postponed over security concerns in Ukraine, the world basketball governing body announced on Monday.

"The decision and the related security assessment do not affect any other games of Group G, where Ukraine and Spain participate, or of other Groups of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Qualifiers, which remain as originally scheduled," FIBA said in a statement.

The Gameday 3 encounter between Spain and Ukraine will be played in the Spanish city of Cordoba on Thursday, FIBA noted.

It added that the postponed week 4 game in Kyiv will be played either during or following Window 3 of the Qualifiers in the months of June-July.
