EuroBasket 2013 was the 38th edition of theEuroBasket championship that was organized byFIBA Europe. It took place from 4 September until 22 September 2013 inSlovenia. The number of participating teams was 24.[1][2]
France defeatedLithuania in the final to win their first title.[3]Tony Parker was namedthe tournament's MVP.
Bosnia and Herzegovina,Croatia,Czech Republic, Germany,Italy andSlovenia brought forward a potential candidature for theFIBA EuroBasket. Countries which were interested in submitting a formal candidature had to do so by31 August 2010.[4] On5 September 2010, it was announced that only two countries, Slovenia and Italy had submitted formal bids.[5] On15 October 2010, Italy announced its withdrawal from the run.[6] TheBasketball Federation of Slovenia (BFS) thus remained the only candidate organizer.
The decision on the candidacy was officially reported after FIBA Europe's meeting inMunich,Germany on5 December 2010. In March 2011, the BFS appointed the economist Aleš Križnar as the director of the event.[7]
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 three best teams advanced to the second stage and the three worst teams were eliminated. In the second stage, two new groups were formed. The three best teams from groups A and B were united to form group E and the three 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 have to be played. As for the matches that had already happened in the first stage, their results also counted in the second stage. Therefore, every team played three matches and there are 12 teams in the second stage.
Out of the second stage, the four best teams from each of the two groups advanced to the quarterfinals (8 teams in total) whereas the two worst teams will be eliminated from the championship (four teams in total).
The fee that Slovenia had to pay to FIBA Europe amounted to 6 millioneuros. According to the agreement, half of the money was paid by the Slovenian state.[8][9]

The official mascot was Lipko,[10] whose name came from combining the Slovenian word forlinden tree and the diminutive "ko". The wordlipa is ofSlavic origin. Lipko is spelt the same in every language and in every market where he is present.
