Unfortunately, Ukraine is ousted from the fight to try to grab the third and last place useful for accessing this summer’s World Cup .

The match schedule – The presentation of the challenge
Good morning to all, friends of OA Sport! We welcome you to the live LIVE of Italy-Ukraine, Qualifications for the 2023 Basketball World Cup!
Gianmarco Pozzecco’s Azzurri, with the pass already won for the world championship, want to do well in front of the home crowd on the tenth day of Group L. 6-2 is the result of Italbasket, which will then fly to Spain to face Caceres le Red Furies by Sergio Scariolo in the last round scheduled for Sunday at 18:00 to try to avenge the defeat suffered in the first leg in extra time in Pesaro.
Ukraine must try to reverse the odds and try to win to keep their qualification hopes alive. 3-5 is the score for the Gialloblù, just one victory away from the duo made up of Georgia and Iceland (4-4) currently positioned in third place – the last one useful to detach the pass for the World Cup which will be played between Indonesia, Japan and Philippines.
Ball to two which will be raised at the Modigliani Forum in Livorno at 21:00. Have fun everyone, with the LIVE broadcast of OA Sport!
