The 2021 IWBF Men's European Championship was the 25th edition of the European Wheelchair Basketball Championship and will be held in Madrid, Netherlands from 4 to 12 December 2021.[1]
The Dutch and British teams reached the final after winning their respective semi-final games. The Netherlands was declared winner of the tournament following the withdrawal of Great Britain after one of the team members tested positive for COVID-19.[2] The third place game between Germany and Italy didn't take place as both teams withdrew over COVID-19 concerns. Both teams were placed in joint-fourth place in the final standings, and the bronze medal wasn't awarded.[2]
Turkey left the tournament over COVID-19 concerns on the third day of the competition. All (group) games involving the Turkish team were considered forfeited, leaving Turkey in the 6th place in group B, finishing 12th in the final standings.[3]
The top five teams of the tournament qualified for the 2022 World Championships in Dubai.[4]
Format
The twelve teams that qualified for the tournament were divided into two groups of six. The top four teams of each group advanced to the quarter-finals of the knockout stage.[5]
Each team had a squad of twelve players for the tournament. Players are given an eight-level-score specific to wheelchair basketball, ranging from 1 to 4.5. Lower scores represent a higher degree of disability. The sum score of all players on the court cannot exceed 14.[6]
