EuroBasket 2013 was the 38th edition of the EuroBasket championship that is organized by FIBA Europe. It took place from 4 September until 22 September 2013 in Slovenia. The number of participating teams was 24.[2][3]
France defeated Lithuania in the final to win its first title.[4]
Host selection
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy and Slovenia brought forward a potential candidature for the FIBA EuroBasket. Countries which were interested in submitting a formal candidature had to do so by 31 August 2010.[5] On 5 September 2010, it was announced that only two countries, Slovenia and Italy had submitted formal bids.[6] On 15 October 2010, Italy announced its withdrawal from the run.[7] The Basketball Federation of Slovenia (BFS) thus remained the only candidate organizer.
The decision on the candidacy was officially reported after FIBA Europe's meeting in Munich, Germany on 5 December 2010. In March 2011, the BFS appointed the economist Aleš Križnar as the director of the event.[8]
Format
In the first stage, every team had to play against every other team of their group (round-robin). This meant five matches per team.
From every group, the three best teams advanced to the second stage and the three worst teams were eliminated. In the second stage, two new groups were formed. The three best teams from groups A and B were united to form group E and the three best teams from groups C and D were united to form group F.
In these two new groups of the second stage only matches by teams that had not yet played each other have to be played. As for the matches that had already happened in the first stage, their results also counted in the second stage. Therefore, every team played three matches and there are 12 teams in the second stage.
Out of the second stage, the four best teams from each of the two groups advanced to the quarterfinals (8 teams in total) whereas the two worst teams will be eliminated from the championship (four teams in total).
Financing
The fee that Slovenia has to pay to FIBA Europe amounts to 6 million euros. According to the agreement, half of the money will be paid by the Slovenian state.[9][10]
Logo, official song and mascot of the championship
The official mascot is Lipko,[11] whose name comes from combining the Slovenian word for linden tree and the diminutive "ko". The word lipa is of Slavic origin. Lipko is spelt the same in every language and in every market where he is present.
