EuroBasket 1949

EuroBasket 1949

The 1949 European Basketball Championship, commonly called Eurobasket 1949, was the sixth regional championship held by FIBA Europe. Seven national teams affiliated with the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) took part in the competition. The competition was hosted by Egypt after the Soviet Union refused to host it, as was the Soviet's obligation as defending champion under FIBA Europe rules. Czechoslovakia, the silver medallist at Eurobasket 1947, had been the host that year, so was not asked to repeat hosting duties and those duties fell to bronze medallist Egypt.

The event took place in Cairo, with travel difficulties cited by many nations as the reason for not competing. Only four of the seven competing teams were European, and even this bare majority includes the transcontinental country of Turkey, which is considered part of Europe in international sport. FIBA Europe refers to the contest as "undoubtedly the weakest in the history of the competition," as only 3 of the 7 entrants had previously competed at any Eurobasket-level event.

Results

The 1949 competition was in the same format as Eurobasket 1939. Each team played each of the other teams once. A win was worth 2 standings points, a loss worth 1. The rankings were based on those standing points.
