Great Britain confirm roster for EuroBasket Women 2027 Qualifier vs Switzerland

The fixture marks the first game of the second international window and a new chapter for the programme, with Krumesh Patel set to lead the team for the first time as head coach.

His side will face Switzerland following several days of focused preparation in camp on the Continent, where players and staff have been working diligently to build chemistry and sharpen their approach.

Great Britain enter the window looking to build on their results from November, when the team recorded two victories from three games in the opening round of qualifiers. With three fixtures scheduled over the coming days, the squad will be aiming to maintain that momentum and push for a perfect three wins from three during this crucial stage of the campaign.

Following tomorrow’s matchup in Fribourg, the team will return home for back-to-back qualifiers in Manchester, where they will host Austria on Saturday before facing Norway on Tuesday.

Head coach Patel said:

“Switzerland will be a good challenge to start the window, especially being at their home venue - we expect them to be fired up and ready to go. We’ve had a good start to camp in Fribourg with the group and we're looking to make a solid start to this window before returning home to Manchester for two more big tests against Austria and Norway.

“The environment in practice has been very positive so I'm excited to see how that carries forward into the opening game tomorrow night.”
