Before the World Cup, the German basketball players will compete with two top-class players. The team of national coach Gordon Herbert is taking part in a top-ranked preparatory tournament in Abu Dhabi and will face Greece with NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo on August 19 and a day later USA, the favorite for the title.

“These are two great friendlies. Both teams are excellent ‘measuring sticks’ for us,” said national coach Herbert. With a view to the World Cup, it is very important “that we can play against two very, very good teams in the USA and Greece.”

A week earlier, the traditional Supercup for NBA star Dennis Schröder and Co. will take place in Hamburg, in which Canada, New Zealand and China will also take part in addition to the DBB selection.

The World Championship will take place from August 25th to September 10th in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia. Germany had qualified for the World Cup as group winners. The draw will take place on April 29th.
