The women's senior basketball team of Macedonia is playing the fifth match of the qualifiers for EuroBasket 2023 tonight in Israel and Slovenia. At 20:XNUMX in the "Sabit Hadzic" hall in Sarajevo, our basketball players have the BiH national team as their opponent.
After four games played, the selection led by the selector Aleksandar Ashadanov is without a win. The Bosnian women were better than us in last year's duel played in SRC "Calais" (64:80), which was dominated by one of the best basketball players in the world, Jenkiel Jones.
But tonight in Sarajevo it will be completely different, Jones will not be in the BiH team, but neither Devana Bonner nor her "successor" Merit Hempe will be in our ranks.
"Two matches await us against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo and at home with one of the strongest national teams, Belgium. Just like the previous two windows, we were unlucky with the health bulletin, a few players got injured and we won't be able to count on them. We have deficiencies with Merit Hempe, Mateja Nikolic and Ilina Seltsova who have knee injuries, i.e. ligaments and meniscus, so we will face a big problem. These matches will be quite difficult, we know the quality of the Belgian and Bosnian women, but what is it, it is here, we will prepare well with the desire to show ourselves better than the previous 'window'. Our goal is to have one win in these three 'windows,' naturally, all the injuries we have kept us away from that. We see the chance with BiH there, which is without the naturalized basketball player, and several names, two or three national team members have retired" - says coach Ashadanov before tonight's match.
