Slovenia will face the Polish national team tomorrow.
The Slovenian national basketball team will have a roaring support at the European Championship in Poland. The first group of fans from Slovenia has already left for Katowice, and there will be at least 1,000 in the stands.
Luka Dončić & Co. completed their first training session in Katowice, where they will try to settle scores with the Poles at the European Championship on Thursday.
The Slovenian national basketball team headed to this year's EuroBasket with optimism and hope, and especially with one of the biggest stars in the world, Luka Dončić, on the team. Unfortunately, the optimism of the basketball players and coaching staff is not shared by the general public, which is very pessimistic ahead of the first group match against the home team, the Poles. Is this pessimism justified?
Polish basketball coach Igor Miličić knows Poland's first opponent at the European Championship well. That's why Slovenia, which features NBA star Luka Dončić, should not be underestimated. However, the Croatian on the Polish bench believes in his team, as he emphasized in an interview with the Polish news agency PAP just a few hours before the opening whistle in Katowice.
Slovenian basketball players in Katowice, Poland, are already eagerly working on the final details before Thursday's first match at the European Championship, when Slovenia will face Poland. At Tuesday's evening training, the basketball players received a special visit, as the basketball team was visited by national football team player Erik Janža, who earns his living in Poland with the Gornik Zabrze team.
