Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis spoke by phone on Monday afternoon with the national basketball team’s coach, Vassilis Spanoulis, to congratulate him on winning third place at EuroBasket 2025.
Mitsotakis emphasized that all of Greece is proud of the team’s effort, as they defeated Finland 92–89 in Sunday’s third-place final to secure a spot on the podium.
This marks the men’s national team’s first medal since EuroBasket 2009 in Poland.
Earlier today, the players returned to Athens, where a large crowd gathered at “Eleftherios Venizelos” Airport to welcome them home.
