+55 Women Pesaro Review

We continue our team reviews from the recent XII FIMBA European Championships in Pesaro, Italy with our +55 Women.

The FIMBA GB +55 Women finished their European Championship in 5th position out of 13 teams. They narrowly lost in their quarter final to the Polish side full of former internationals. They played 5 and won 4 of their matches in the Championship, pulling back a 10 point deficit to just 2 points with a minute to play, eventually falling short by just 4 points, 57-61, in that key quarter-final. After that disappointment, they beat a German side and comfortably beat the other GB team at the Championship to take 5th place.

The FIMBA +55 women are looking for new players born between 1966 and 1970 to continue their rise to the top, to compete to play in the World Championships in Ticino, Switzerland in Summer 2025.

For your chance to be a part of the top GB Masters Basketball team in the +55 age category, and FIMBA Pesaro 24 European Championships fifth-placed winning squad, open training sessions will be held monthly from September, ultimately selecting the team/s before Christmas 2024.

The dates for these sessions are:

14/15 September
12/13 October
9/10 November
7/8 December
