The Hellenic Basketball Federation (EOK) has officially submitted its bid to host the 2029 EuroBasket to the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).

Greece is requesting to host both a group stage and the final phase of the tournament, with other contenders including Slovenia and Slovakia. There are also rumors of a joint bid from Serbia and Turkey.

Any issues that have arisen in recent hours are being set aside; everyone is putting on their best smile as we count down to the opening ceremony, which also marks the start of the Olympic Games.
