Our men’s national team will host Romania on Sunday (17:00) at the Coque Gymnase in Kirchberg. It is the third game of the FIBA 2027 World Cup pre-qualifiers.
At this moment, all 3 teams of group B are tied with 3 points (1:1 record each) in the standings after Romania was able to beat Norway on the road on Thursday evening. This game is extremely important if Luxembourg wants to qualify for the next round. With a victory, Luxembourg would take the lead in the standings and win the direct comparison against Romania.
Important note: All seating tickets have been sold, there are standings tickets left to buy at the box office. We would also invite you to be at the gym early in order to avoid long waiting lines.

Special solidarity action
The Luxembourg Basketball Federation is pleased to announce that it is organizing a solidarity action during the next international match of the men’s national team against Romania, which will take place on November 24th, 2024 at the Coque in Kirchberg.
–> The objective of this initiative is to offer a Christmas gift to each child.
–> To participate, we invite each spectator to bring a stuffed animal.
–> A collective throw of these soft toys will take place a few minutes after half-time, with a signal given by our announcer and a countdown.
The collected stuffed toys will then be given to the Luxembourg « Croix Rouge » to be redistributed to children in need.
