GB GIVEN SEEDING SNUB
- Updated: December 10, 2018
Great Britain will be in the fourth and lowest pool of seeds in Wednesday’s draw for EuroBasket Women 2019.
The seedings are based in equal part on the teams’ performance at FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017 and in the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2019 Qualifiers.
In instances where teams had the same average ranking, their final position at FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017 served as tie-breaker.

| 1 | Spain | 1 | 2 | 1.5 |
| 1 | France | 2 | 3 | 2.5 |

The 16 participating teams will be drawn into four groups of four teams each. Host nations Latvia and Serbia had the right to choose a partner federation, which will play in the respective country, albeit in the opposite group. Latvia selected Sweden, while Serbia will welcome the team of Slovenia.
The Draw is set to take place in the City Hall of Belgrade at 12pm GMT on Wednesday.
