TheLatvia men's national basketball team (Latvian:Latvijas basketbola izlase) representsLatvia in internationalbasketball. They are organized and run by theLatvian Basketball Association. Latvia has reached theEuropean Basketball Championship 15 times, with their ultimate success occurring during theinter-war period, when they became the first team to win the tournament in1935. Four years later, they had another impressive run to come away with the silver in1939. Although after 1939, Latvia were forced to suspend their national team operations, due to theOccupation of the Baltic states duringWorld War II. Latvia regainedindependence in 1991, with their national team taking part in international competition once again a year later.
On 26 November 1923, theLatvijas Basketbola Savienība was founded, earlier than most basketball federations from other countries.[4]
On 29 April 1924, Latvia played their first international game versusEstonia, winning it 20–16.[5]
In the winter of 1924, the first men's basketball championship was held, while the first women's championship was organized in 1933.[6]
Latvians, like theirBaltic neighborsLithuanians andEstonians, also began playing basketball in the 1920s, quickly rising as the strongest of the Baltic teams. On 13 December 1925 inRiga, when the Lithuanian national team played their first international game. Latvia easily swept them with the score of 41–20.[7] Later on, Latvia continued to dominate the future three-times European champions as well (41–29 and 123–10).[8] In fact, Latvia had one of the world's strongest national basketball teams. The first Latvian teams consisted of students and pupils, who were trained by coaches of the AmericanYMCA (Young Men's Christian Association).[9]
Latvia also was one of the eight countries which signed the founding act ofFIBA on 18 June 1932 inGeneva, along withSwitzerland,Czechoslovakia,Greece,Italy,Portugal,Romania andArgentina. The Latvian representative in this event was Jāzeps Šadeiko.[10]

The Latvians won the first European basketball championship, theEuroBasket 1935 held by theInternational Basketball Federation'sFIBA Europe continental federation. They defeatedHungary in the preliminary round,Switzerland in the semi-finals, andSpain in the final to finish at the top of the ten-nation field.[11]
Latvia held their opponents to 49 points over three games, the lowest points-against average in the tournament. Their scoring rate, 98 points over three games for 32.67 points per game, was second only toFrance.
Latvia is the smallest country in population to ever win theEuroBasket.
In 2012, Latvian film director Aigars Grauba directed the historicalsports dramaDream Team 1935 about the journey of the Latvian team towards winning the title.[12][11]
The Latvia national basketball team participated in the first appearance of basketball as an official Olympic medal event. Latvia were reigning European champions and were considered to be one of the pre-tournament favorites. Although the Olympics did not go that well for the Latvians. They began the tournament with a 20–17 victory overUruguay. However, they were soundly beaten 23–34 byCanada and after suffering another defeat toPoland 23–28, the Latvians did not qualify for the knockout stage, unlike their neighborsEstonia.[13] This was the first and only appearance for Latvia at theOlympic Games as of 2025 (theirfemale counterparts made their first appearance in2008).[14]
At theEuroBasket 1937, the reigning champions got off to a great start in their first game in the tournament by blowing outCzechoslovakia 44–11. In their second game they lost a close one toPoland to drop to (1–1) in the standings. They finished up group play with a needed win againstFrance to put them in a three-way tie for the lead of the four-team group. However, it wouldn't be enough for the national team to reach the semi-finals as they came out on the bottom of the tie-breaker against Poland and France. This result came about despite the Latvians being the highest-scoring team in the entire tournament and allowing fewer opponent points than any of the other teams in their group.
Being in the bottom half of the preliminary group meant that the team could finish no better than fifth. In the classification semifinal, Latvia facedEgypt, which had withdrawn after their first two preliminary matches. They advanced to the 5th/6th place playoff, which they lost toEstonia 41–19.
In1939, despite losing twice, including a rematch of the 1937 game against Estonia, Latvia secured silver medals with 5 wins. Poland, which also had a 5–2 record, finished third as Latvia had won the match between the two teams. The tournament's opening and, in retrospect, decisive game between Latvia andLithuania ended in a dramatic late victory for the hosts and eventual champions Lithuania, souring the sports relations between the two countries and leading to the cancellation of the 1939Baltic Cup.[15]
One of the 1939's vice-champions,Alfrēds Krauklis, once said: "Frankly saying – these threeBaltic states raised the European basketball. Now they say that its Spanish, and so what? Let them say... And I say – it's our merit!".[16]
Due toSoviet and Nazi occupations, Latvians were unable to represent Latvia inFIBA organized tournaments or theOlympic Games. Instead, they were forced to play for theSoviet Union national team.
Horrific times inLatvia began. In 1940 themassive people deportations started, implemented by theSoviets. Thousands of Latvians were forced to leave their homeland, thousands of them died due to theactive warfare during World War II.
Though, despite all the cruel challenges, basketball was continued to be played and retained its popularity in Latvia. In 1941 a Baltic States tournament was organized inKaunas Sports Hall. TheLithuanian SSR team won the final against theLatvian SSR, 38–33.[17]
At the1952 Summer Olympics,Maigonis Valdmanis became the first Latvian representative on the Soviet squad, which won the Olympic silver medals that year. A few years later two other Latvian basketball stars joined the team:Jānis Krūmiņš andValdis Muižnieks. Later on, the trio won twoEuroBasket titles and two times became Olympic vice-champions together.
In the 1950s,Rīgas ASK, coached by the Soviet legendAleksandr Gomelsky, became the major force of the Soviet Union and even Europe by winning three consecutiveEuropean Cup titles from 1958 to 1960. The club's roster had multiple European champions in Jānis Krūmiņš, Maigonis Valdmanis and Valdis Muižnieks.[18] Furthermore, in 1960TTT Riga won theEuropean Cup for Women's Clubs, undoubtedly turningRiga into the capital of basketball with the two major European basketball titles held by the single city's clubs at the same time. And it only was the first of the stunning 18 European titles.
In later years other Latvian basketball stars appeared, such asValdis Valters andIgors Miglinieks, the latter of whom was eventually crowned as Olympic champion. Valdis Valters is considered to be one of Europe's greatest basketball players of the 1980s. He won theWorld Cup in1982 and became theEuropean champion twice, being named as theMVP ofEuroBasket 1981.
On 4 May 1990 Latvia declared thecountry's independence from theSoviet Union. Consequently, in September 1991 itsbasketball federation was re-affiliated with FIBA.[19] Though, despite having some remarkable players likeValdis Valters,Igors Miglinieks,Ainars Bagatskis,Kaspars Kambala,Andris Biedriņš, Latvia failed to recover its inter-war glory. Their best result after restoring the country's independence is the 5th place achieved at the 2023 World Cup. Although, basketball is slowly regaining its power in Latvia with the help of the medals-winning youth squads.

During EuroBasket 2013, Latvia began their tournament run with two wins againstBosnia and Herzegovina, andMontenegro before facing longtimeBaltic rivalLithuania. Although in the highly anticipated match between the two nations,Lithuania prevailed 67–59. Latvia then lost their next match versusSerbia, but rebounded to win their final fixture in group play againstMacedonia to advance.
In the second group phase of the tournament Latvia displayed immediate dominance in their first game of group play overUkraine winning 86–51. It turned out to be the only win Latvia would record in the group, as they were eventually eliminated.
As one of the hosts for EuroBasket 2015 inRiga, Latvia began their campaign at the tournament victorious overBelgium 78–67. In their second match, they were once again pitted against their rivalsLithuania. Latvia looked to avenge their lost from the prior EuroBasket showdown between the two, as the national team got off to a strong start in the 1st quarter. Unfortunately, the Latvians were unable to maintain the momentum they started the match with, as they fell to their rivals again, 68–49. While it was demoralizing for Latvia to be defeated in that manner in front of their home crowd, they recovered quickly to win two out of the next three matches they played to move on to the knockout stage. There, Latvia beatSlovenia to advance to the quarter-finals, but ultimately fell short to the eventualbronze medalistFrance.
At EuroBasket 2017, Latvia entered the competition with high expectations, as they fielded one of their most potent lineups ever. With the addition of Latvian starKristaps Porziņģis joining the senior national team for the first time, Latvia was poised to go on a long tournament run. But in their first match they were out lasted by a veteranSerbian squad, 92–82. Although, the national team bounced back in a huge way dismantlingBelgium 92–64, with Porziņģis andJānis Timma leading the way in scoring with 27 points apiece. They also went on to win their next three matches in group play to finish with a (4–1) record, to earn a spot in the knockout rounds. In their round of 16 match up, they throttledMontenegro 100–68. Latvia ran into a buzz saw in their quarter-finals match though, falling to the eventual championsSlovenia.
Latvia finished fifth in the tournament overall, reaching their best post-war result in the history of the national team, in which Kristaps Porziņģis debuted with astonishing averages of 23.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks at the age of 22.[20]

On 1 August 2019, Latvia named former playerRoberts Štelmahers the new head coach of the national team. He replacedArnis Vecvagars, who failed to qualify for the2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.[21] Štelmahers also had a brief stint, as he resigned after Latvia failed to qualify for theEuroBasket 2022. In March 2022, Latvia was selected as one of the four co-hosts forEuroBasket 2025, where they will host one preliminary phase group, as well as the knockout rounds.
After the signing ofLuca Banchi as head coach in 2021, Latvia went on toqualify for the2023 FIBA World Cup, making it the first time the national team would appear at the World Cup finals.[22][23]
Latvia entered the competition with high hopes, however, their biggest starKristaps Porziņģis was unable to represent the team during the 2023 FIBA World Cup, due to failing to recover from an injury.[24] Nevertheless, Latvia surprisingly eliminated European vice-championsFrance in the first round by winning a decisive game 88–86 and qualified to the second round of the 2023 FIBA World Cup with two victories (also versusLebanon 109–70) and one 101–75 loss toCanada.[25][26] One of the Latvian team leadersDāvis Bertāns described victory versus France as "the biggest win in Latvian basketball history since 1935".[27] In the second round Latvia achieved yet another memorable 74–69 victory versus the reigning world championsSpain.[28] In the next game Latvia crushedBrazil 104–84 and advanced to the quarter-finals as the second-best team in the group, leaving Spain and Brazil behind without playoffs.[29] But in quarter-final Latvia lost toGermany in the last seconds with the result 79–81 and did not directly qualify for theParis 2024 Olympics.[30] Latvia finished the tournament in fifth place after defeatingItaly (82–87) and Lithuania (98–63).[31][26]
