EuroBasket 2011 was the 37th men'sEuropean Basketball Championship, held byFIBA Europe. The competition was hosted byLithuania. This was the second time EuroBasket had been held in Lithuania, the country having also hosted the1939 championship.FIBA Europe asserted that Lithuania managed to organize the best European championship in its history.[2] The top two teams are guaranteed spots at the2012 Summer Olympics.
EuroBasket 2011 was the largest sporting event in the history of theBaltic states, both in terms of the number of national teams (24), games (90), and that of spectators (158,000 tickets sold, with most tickets valid for three separate games.)[3]
Spain won the title for the second consecutive tournament, after defeatingFrance, by a score of 98–85 in the final.[4] Spain'sJuan Carlos Navarro wasthe tournament's MVP.
The group matches were played in four arenas, namelyAlytus Arena,Šiauliai Arena,Cido Arena inPanevėžys and an arena inKlaipėda. The second stage matches were played at theSiemens Arena in the capitalVilnius and the playoffs at the newŽalgiris Arena inKaunas.
All tickets were sold for matches in which Lithuania played in a matter of several hours after the start of sale. Other tickets were also sold out in advance for all venues except for Alytus (75% of available tickets sold in total). However the Organizing Committee's policy of selling tickets as a 3-game package meant that in some cases the sold-out arenas were not full as some fans would choose to go to only some of the games their ticket entitled them to. This policy was altered in Panevėžys where there were separate tickets for the games Lithuania played.
20,000 foreign visitors went to Lithuania for the championship. 135,000 local fans visited the arenas. 120,000 people (both local and foreign) watched EuroBasket 2011 matches in special fan zones that were constructed beside every arena with a large screen and outdoor seating available.[3]
Among the foreign teams the Georgian, Slovenian, Russian and Latvian national teams had the most fans traveling from their home countries. Georgians had certain city squares decorated in their flags in both Klaipėda and Vilnius.
Several famous people and heads of states went to championship. This included the president ofGeorgiaMikheil Saakashvili, Foreign Minister ofRussiaSergey Lavrov and prince ofSpainFelipe.

It was first decided that 16 teams would participate in EuroBasket 2011, howeverFIBA Europe decided on 5 September 2010, in a meeting in Istanbul, that there would be 24 teams in the tournament, after the Qualifying Round was concluded.[5]
Lithuania automatically received a place as the hosts, nine other countries that competed in the2010 FIBA World Championship also received a place, 12 Countries were determined through qualifying matches played in August 2010 (five had initially qualified, and seven were added after the decision to expand the tournament to 24 teams),[6] and two more qualifiers were decided in an additional qualifying tournament that took place in August 2011. All but one of the 15 countries that participated in the Qualifying Round qualified for the final tournament.

Each team consisted of 12 players. Only 1 among the 12 could be a naturalised foreign player, who could not have been in the national team of another nation. Some of the teams had players that traced their ancestry to the teams they represent and were allowed to play for that team, such asGermany (US-bornChris Kaman) andIsrael (US-bornDavid Blu, who as Jewish wasentitled to Israeli citizenship from birth). Other teams naturalised players participating in their country's league system, among themSpain (Congolese-bornSerge Ibaka),Croatia (US-bornDontaye Draper),Bulgaria (US-bornE. J. Rowland),Belgium (US-bornMarcus Faison), andPoland (US-bornThomas Kelati, who qualified for Polish citizenship through marriage to a Pole).Montenegro andMacedonia each naturalised US-born players who had never played in their league system, but had played in neighbouringSerbia, respectivelyOmar Cook andBo McCalebb. Other naturalised players moved to their current countries in their youth, with a notable example beingGreat Britain'sLuol Deng, who fled theSudanese Civil War with his family as a child.
Lithuania,Serbia,Portugal (Cape Verde was a Portuguese colony) and Finland are notable exceptions, with all of their players having been born in Lithuania, Portugal, Serbia and Finland respectively. Another exception wasLatvia playing without foreign players.Turkey hadEnes Kanter, who was born to Turkish parents inSwitzerland as well as Emir Preldzic, who was born in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina and had already played on the national team of Slovenia in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in 2008 and Slovenian youth national teams.
Some of theEastern European national teams, such asBosnia and Herzegovina, were composed mainly or entirely from players playing abroad. This was primarily true for countries that have good basketball players but no powerful clubs or leagues to match that.
On the other hand, for countries with strong leagues, such asItaly, the National teams were primarily composed of players playing in the local league. The same was true for countries weak in basketball (i.e. with both weak national team and local league) as their players are unable to get into strong foreign leagues.Portugal could be an example here.
ManyNBA players represented their national teams, with the Spanish team having 6 NBA stars, the French team having 5, the Turkish team having 4, and so on. It was one of the strongest European basketball competition ever organized as a lot of European stars helped their nations.

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 3 best teams advanced to the second stage and the 3 worst teams were eliminated. In the second stage 2 new groups were formed. The 3 best teams from groups A and B were united to form group E whereas the 3 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 had to be played. As for the matches that had already happened in the first stage their results would also count in the second stage. Therefore, every team played 3 matches and there were 12 teams in the second stage.
Out of the second stage the 4 best teams from each of the two groups advanced to the quarterfinals (8 teams in total) whereas the 2 worst teams were eliminated from championship (4 teams in total).

A public contest was introduced to create the logo for the competition. 49 designs were presented initially to the organizers and the best three were sent to FIBA Europe, which selected the winning design. The author of it was designer Kęstutis Koira. The EuroBasket 2011 logo was unveiled on 24 January 2009 inCido Arena,Panevėžys, during the final game of the Lithuanian Basketball Federation Cup. It displays theColumns of Gediminas overlaid on a backboard.
Lithuania is the first host country ofEuroBasket to have an official EuroBasket song. The song "Celebrate basketball", written byMarijonas Mikutavičius and performed byMia, Mantas Jankavičius andMarijonas Mikutavičius, was chosen by atelevoting in Lithuania. There are two versions of the song – in Lithuanian[7] and English.[8] Later, another version was added – "Nebetyli sirgaliai" (lit. The Fans are no Longer Quiet).
The mascot of the championship was Amberis. Its head was in the form and color of a piece ofamber. The name "Amberis" is a portmanteau of the English wordamber and the Lithuanian nominative case masculine gender ending "is". The real word foramber in Lithuanian isGintaras. There was an Amberis in every arena and quite frequently there were more than a single Amberis at a time interacting with each other as well as spectators. On the screens in the arenas a "legend" was shown where a piece of amber was given by a coach to a young basketball player to bring him luck and this piece turned into Amberis.
Basketball enjoys extraordinary popularity in Lithuania. As such, many events were organized to mark the championship, including:
Additionally, from Spring 2011, many of the TV and newspaper advertisements became basketball-oriented. Each of the cities where EuroBasket 2011 would take place received many minor details marking the championship: for example, the trash bins in Panevėžys were repainted to look like basketballs, an abandoned building in Vilnius had its windows covered by flags of the participant nations while balls were drawn on the pavement in some places.
Many ordinary Lithuanians decorated their cars with smallLithuanian flags flying above side windows (like during every other basketball championship). Flags covering the opposite side of the car mirrors are also popular. Some foreign fans who visited Lithuania during the championship adopted this practice as well.
A major Lithuanian news company adopted the practice of predicting eachLithuania national basketball team match in the EuroBasket.Lazdeika the Crab served as the oracle. The crab selected one of the two coconut shells to hide in when light was shone on it. Each of the two coconut shells has a country's flag – Lithuania's flag and opponent flag. At the beginning the crab's guesses would prove to be correct yet in the end they went wrong. Some people believe that the predictions werefixed - that is, the crab would be filmed many times and only when its "prediction" would match that ofbookmakers would the "prediction" be aired on TV.
At least some matches were broadcast in 150 countries and territories all over the world.[3]
According to the Lithuanian Basketball Association the championship expenses were 32 million Litas and the income was 34.8 million Litas, which means the profit of the event was 2.8 million Litas.[3]
Out of the 32 million Litas expenses some 9.8 million were funded by the Lithuanian state institutions whereas the remaining 22.2 million were amassed from sponsors or other sources. It is assumed that the state earned 11.9 million Litas due to VAT taxes paid by 20 000 foreign visitors therefore earning a 2.1 million Litas profit.[3]
Out of the 34.8 million litas income 24.7 million Litas were amassed by selling tickets (TV rights and certain other rights are owned by FIBA rather than the local basketball association and therefore are not included in the revenues).[3]
During the championship there were 3,984 people responsible for safety and 1,500 volunteers responsible for various duties such as helping spectators or giving the balls for play. The 1,500 volunteers were chosen out of 6,000 persons who wanted to volunteer.
1,300 journalists worked in the championships, out of them 200 were TV and radio commentators. 1,300 media accreditation licenses were issued.[3]
Teams played each other once. The top three placed teams move on to the next round. In the event of a tie on points, direct matches between (points andgoal average, i.e. points for/points against) were taken into account, if still tied, goal average in all matches was used as tiebreaker and not points difference.[10][11]

 Spain Second title |
The results of the championship included some surprises.Finland andGeorgia, the latter supported by some 1,500 fans who had traveled to Lithuania, managed to reach the second stage despite being allowed to take part in the championship only after FIBA Europe decision. In fact Finland had the possibility of advancing to the quarterfinals until the very last game againstSlovenia.
Croatia on the other hand was a powerful team that failed to reach even the second stage.Turkey with 5NBA players failed to reach the quarterfinals.
The biggest surprise was probablyMacedonia, a country that had had no major basketball victories prior to this championship. Having lost only two games in the first and second stages and these two by just a single point each (one of them after overtime) Macedonia easily advanced to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals the Macedonians defeated the hostsLithuanians, and went to the semifinals.
A match between Georgia andRussia in Klaipėda was regarded to have political significance due to these countries having recently fought a war (theSouth Ossetia War). There were more than 1,000 Georgians and under 1,000 Russians in the arena during the game and large police forces were amassed to prevent possible riots. Despite the tight battle the Russians defeated the Georgians and prevented any surprise result. No riots happened.
These are the final standings. Two countries,Spain andFrance, qualified for the2012 Summer Olympics basketball tournament outright. Four more qualified for the2012 Olympic Qualifying Tournament, with Russia and Lithuania obtaining qualification through the tournament. In addition,Great Britain qualified as host.
