The organization of Euro 2015 basketball remains entrusted to Ukraine. At least for now. On Thursday, May 15, FIBA Europe granted additional time to Ukraine, which now has until the beginning of June to provide guarantees on its ability to host the European men's tournament. If necessary, the governing body of European basketball could withdraw all or part of the organization of the competition due to its political situation. Sixteen other countries have expressed an interest in organizing all or part of the event. France is part of it, but only for the first round, according to the president of the French Basketball Federation, Jean-Pierre Siutat.
