U17 Home Nations Invitational: England prepped for Cardiff clash - rosters, schedule, tickets and live streams

The final instalment of the 2025 Home Nations Invitational Tournaments will take place in Cardiff at the Archers Arena on the 28-29 June. 

England U17s will clash against the home nations of Scotland and Wales, as well as invited guest, Ireland.

Heading up the boys' team is Myerscough's Lewis Scott, supported by St Bonaventure's Basketball Coach Charles Vuong, whilst Katie Lamond of City of Leeds Basketball Club takes on head coaching duties for the girls. Her right hand woman is serial WNBL MVP winner, Ipswich's Harriet Welham. 

The tournament is being hosted across two venues at Cardiff Metropolitan University.

All games taking place in the Archers Arena will be live streamed on Basketball Wales' YouTube channel. The games in the Sports Hall will be available to watch after they have finished. 

Tickets are available via the link below and games will be statted via FIBA Live Stats.

Last year, England Men's and Women's squads finished in second place after losing their opening games to Ireland in what was then the U18 Four Nations Tournament.   

The revamped tournaments saw the realignment of its age categories to identify players earlier and give coaches the opportunity to work with them over a longer period before feeding them through to GB level. Hosting during the summer time has also removed calendar clashes with the domestic seasons in each country.
