History

[edit]

The first tournament was held in1938 inFascist Italy, with participation of only five national teams. Despite losing toLithuania (21–23), thehost team won all other matches and captured inaugural title thanks to better head-to-head point difference among Top 3 teams.Lithuania andPoland took silver and bronze medals respectively.

TheSecond World War (1939–1945), which began the following year, interrupted the organization of women's basketball tournaments for a long time. The next continental championship was held inHungary only 12 years later, in1950. From 1950 to 1980, women's championships were held biennially each even year – unlike men'sEuropean Basketball Championship which were held each odd year. This tournament marked beginning of the era of dominance of theEastern European teams which lasted for next four decades. In the last and decisive match of the final round hosts met withSoviet team.Hungary led after first half (24–22), but in the second half Soviets players looked much better. They managed to achieve victory (45–32) and to won its maiden European title.Czechoslovakia took bronze medals. At the next European Championship which was held inMoscow in1952, Soviet team proved own dominance by beatingCzechoslovakia andHungary with margin of 23 points (52–29) and 30 points respectively (71–41). Two years later inYugoslavia, Soviet team captured European title for third time by beating Czechoslovakia with margin of 7 points (69–62) in a decisive match of the final round.Bulgaria took bronze European Championship medals for first time. On the next tournament which was held inCzechoslovakia in1956, Soviet team took gold medals for fourth time in a row by beating Hungarians in the final match (49–41) while hosts took bronze.

1958 European Championships which was held inŁódź,Poland became remarkable event.Soviet Union, the winner of four previous tournaments, lost European title for first time. In the decisive match of final round,Bulgaria led byVanya Voynova managed to beat Soviet team in overtime (54–51) and to break Soviet dominance. This victory was remarkable – it's enough to say that this defeat (alongside with Soviet defeat toUnited States at the1957 World Championship) remained the only two defeats in the history of participation of Soviet team at all international basketball competitions during very long time – till 1986. Next yearSoviet Union took revenge by beatingBulgaria in the decisive match of the1959 World Championship which was held in Moscow (51–38). The next European Championship was held in1960 inSofia,Bulgaria. Soviet team returned European title although this victory was more difficult. They achieved victory overCzechoslovakia (future bronze medalists) with margin of just two points (58–56). In the decisive match of final round, Soviet team again met with Bulgaria. After first half, Bulgarians led with margin of 9 points (22–13). However, in second half Soviet players managed to equal score and then achieve victory in overtime (52–50). Last 5 minutes and overtime of this match were played in an indoor hall of theNational Stadium due to rain. Two years later European Championship was held inFrance. At the group round,Soviet Union defeatedCzechoslovakia only in overtime (51–49). Later both teams reached final match where Soviet team won with a bigger advantage (63–46). At the next1964 European Championships which was held inHungary, Soviet team won third title in a row by beatingBulgaria in the final match with margin of just two points (55–53). Two years later at the1966 European Championships inRomania, Soviet team won over Czechoslovakia in a final match (74–66).

1968 European Championships which was held inItaly became debut for legendarycenter Uļjana (Iulijaka) Semjonova. This giant 2.10-meter tall player played key role in Soviet team for next 18 years. From 1968 to 1985, she played at 10 European Championships and always won gold. Before Semjonova's debut, the vast majority of decisive matches were ended with favour of Soviet team but with relatively close margin. With Semjonova in the squad, the superiority of Soviet Union over opponents became overwhelming. Other prominent European basketball national teams at that time, such as Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria or Hungary were huge step behind the Soviet Union. Soviet team played 74 games during these 10 tournaments, and the slimmest margin of victory was 16 points. Another architect of the success of Soviet basketball wasLidiya Alekseyeva (1924–2014) who took direct participation in 16 Soviet victories at the European Championships – firstly as team captain (4 titles from 1950 to 1956), then as assistant coach (1962) and later as a head coach of national team (record 11 titles from 1964 to 1983). Soviet team was unbeaten not only in Europe, but also in the world. From 1959 to 1985,Soviet Union won all international competitions in which they participated without losing any match - 14 European Championships, 6 World Championships (1959, 1964, 1967, 1971, 1975 and 1983) and 2 Olympic tournaments (1976 and 1980).

After the 1980 Olympic Games and 1980 European Championships, it was decided to hold women's continental tournament biennially each odd year – just like men'sEuropean Basketball Championship. Soviet team continued to win but in late 1980s, as a result of changing of generation, their superiority became not such overwhelming as it was before. In 1986 they suffered first defeats at international competition for 28 years - at first, they lost toUnited States at the decisive match of the1986 Goodwill Games with margin of 23 points (60–83) and next month they lost to US team with margin of 20 points (88–108) in the final match of homeWorld Championship (both matches were played inMoscow). Nevertheless, Soviet team continued to dominate at European area. They won1987 European Championship held inSpain after beatingCzechoslovakia (89–81) in semifinals andYugoslavia (83–73) in the final match. But next year at the1988 Summer Olympics inSeoul,South Korea, Yugoslavia managed to perform better - they took silver medals by losing just 7 points to US team in the final match (70–77) while Soviet team surprisingly failed to reach final and unexpectively finished only at third place for first time in their history. At the group round of the1989 European Championship held inBulgaria, Soviet team defeatedCzechoslovakia andNetherlands with margin of just 3 points (78–75 and 59–56 respectively) and then reached final where defeated Czechoslovakia once again with same margin (64–61). But at the1990 World Championship inMalaysia,Soviet Union lost in the second group round toCzechoslovakia (79–82) andYugoslavia (63–64) and finished only at fifth place. It was first and only time when Soviet team failed to reach podium at the international competition where they participated. Like two years ago, Yugoslavia took silver medals after losing to US in the final match (78–88).

At the next1991 European Championship held inIsrael, Yugoslavia managed to beat Soviet team at the group round (75–74). It was only second defeat of Soviet Union at the continental championships and the first since 1958. Despite this defeat, Soviet team reached final match where met with Yugoslavia once again. In this final, Yugoslavia led with margin of 14 points after first half (53–39), but in the second half Soviet players managed to change situation and won match with margin of 13 points (97–84). It was last participation of Soviet team at the European Championships. Their dominance at this tournament was simply unimaginable. The facts speak for itself: participation in 22 championships resulted in 21 titles as European Champions, 151 matches and 149 wins (the only two defeats: in overtime to Bulgaria in 1958 and one-point defeat by Yugoslavia in 1991), including 114 consecutive wins between 1958 and 1991. It's hard to imagine that any other team from any other sport could ever equal these amazing achievement. Next year the former Soviet players who completed forUnified Team at the 1992 Summer Olympics inBarcelona,Spain as a result of Soviet Union's dissolution in December 1991, managed to achieve surprising success after shocking victory overUnited States in semifinals (79–73) and victory overChina in the final match (76–66). There was last participation of Soviet basketball at the international competitions and true "true swan song" of Soviet team which ceased to exist after that.

During four decades, vast majority of the European Championships ended with very predictable results -Soviet Union took gold medals while silver and bronze medals went to otherEastern European teams. However, in early 1990s situation totally changed after dissolution ofSoviet Union,SFR Yugoslavia andCzechoslovakia. It opened way for the success of other national teams and made European Championships much less predictable. At the1993 European Championships which was held inItaly,Slovakia took bronze medals and became only newly formed national team who managed to reach podium. For the first time, twoWestern European teams played in the final match –Spain took their maiden European title by beatingFrance (63–53). It's remarkable that not one of medalists reached the podium at the next1995 European Championships which was held inCzech Republic. Led by Olympic ChampionsMaryna Tkachenko andOlena Zhyrko,Ukraine became the first post-Soviet national team to win European title after victories overRussia in semifinals (69–64) and overItaly in the final match (77–66). Russian team also took podium after beating Slovakia in the bronze medal match (69–50).1997 European Championships became successful forLithuania who beat Slovakia in the final match (72–62) whileGermany took bronze medals and reached podium for first time after theGerman reunification. Two years laterPoland achieved their maiden success at the home1999 European Championships by beatingFrance in the final match (59–56) while Russia took bronze medals. In2001 France also won maiden European title at home championship after victory over Russia in the final match (73–68).

The next two tournaments finished by final matches betweenRussia andCzech Republic. In2003, Russia won with score 59–56 and achieved their first European title after dissolution ofSoviet Union. In2005, Czech Republic took revenge (72–70) and also achieved their maiden trophy whileSpain won bronze medals for third time in a row. Two years later Russia won European title for second time after victory over Spain in the final match (74–68) whileBelarus took bronze medals and reached podium for first time. In2009,France defeated Russia in the final match (57–53) and became European Champions for second time while Spain finished 3rd. Two years later Russia won European Championship for third time by beatingTurkey women's national basketball team in the final match (59–42). Nevertheless, it was first European medals for Turkish team.France won bronze medals. At next four European Championship, French team reach final matches but lost all four matches. In2013 at the home championship, they lost final to Spanish team with margin of just one point (69–70). In2015, French players lost final match toSerbia who won European title for first time.2017 and2019 finals were ended in favour of Spain who defeated France (71–55 and 86–66 respectively) thus becoming first national team since 1991 years who managed to defend their own European title. The next2021 European Championship was co-hosted byFrance andSpain. It was won bySerbia – for second time in history.France lost final match for fifth time in a row (54–63) whileBelgium finished in third place.

In2023,Belgium won their maiden trophy after victory over Spain in the final match (64–58) while France finished 3rd.

The 39 European Championship tournaments have been won by 12 different nations. The most successful nation is the now defunctSoviet Union with 21 titles. The other European Championship winners areSpain, with four titles;Russia, with three titles;France andSerbia, with two titles each; as well asBelgium,Bulgaria,Czech Republic,Italy,Lithuania,Poland, andUkraine, with one title each.
