AK Górnik Zamek KSIĄŻ Walbrzych the winner of the U16 tournament
AK Górnik Zamek KSIĄŻ Walbrzych the winner of the U16 tournament
We start the tournament as usual with the home team Slavoj BK Litoměřice in the first match of the tournament they are up against another Czech team Sršni Photomate Písek . The Hornets surprise with their low aggressiveness, which is typical for this "species" and do not perform at all worthy of their insect species. Of course, let's take this with a slight exaggeration. In any case, the Hornets do not perform well and lose by a difference of nine points. In the second match we have a Polish derby between the teams BC Swiss Krono Žary and AK Górnik Zamek KSIĄŻ Walbrzych . And as you can see, Žary does not come to the tournament in its "skin", as they lose heavily to a new team from the Polish city of Walbrzych. AK Górnik Zamek KSIĄŻ Walbrzych entered the tournament strongly and after the first quarter it was quite clear which way the match would go. Górnik wins this match by a large margin. In the third match against the home team, another newcomer to the competition will play - the German team Post SV Nürnberg . An interesting duel, especially offensively oriented, where almost two hundred points were scored. Finally, after three quarters, where the German team was in a slight lead, the home team wins by a difference of five points, when in the last quarter Nürnbergu ran out of strength.
On Saturday, two games are certainly worth mentioning, first Žary with Nürnbergem . When the first half was in the hands of the German team, in the third quarter the Polish team turns the game on its side, so that at the end of the game the German team Post SV Nürnberg has a smile on their face again. And Nürnberg was in the main role in the second game as well. This time, rather in their performance, the role of horror. The hornets sharpened their stingers and inflicted one hundred and forty stings on the poor German team. And that is an achievement that is quite exceptional in European basketball in a regular game without overtime. So this time, thumbs up for Písek. In the last game of the day, the home team Slavoj BK Litoměřice confirms the silver medal win thanks to the win over Žary.
On Sunday, in a leisurely pace, AK Górnik Zamek KSIĄŻ Walbrzych defeats Post SV Nürnberg and wins gold medals. In the last match, there was still a chance to win bronze medals for Žary, but Sršni Photomate Písek with the energy following on from Saturday's performance, secure a big win and thus bronze medals.

GTK Gliwice is the clear winner of the U15 tournament
The opening match of the tournament is a duel between the home team GTK Gliwice and another Polish team Lublinianka KUL Basketball . You could say that halfway through the match it was over. The home team already had a double-digit lead, which it maintained. The second match saw a duel between two Czech teams, specifically BSKT TurRad and Basketpoint Frýdek-Místek . The first-named team is a newcomer to the CEYBL and is formed by a combination of clubs from Turnov and Radotín. However, the newcomer BSKT TurRad did not compete with Frýdek-Místek at all and gave it a loss by almost twenty points. In the next match, the second newcomer to the CEYBL tournaments, the team Sluneta Ústí nad Labem , took part and they also suffered a "rookie's tax" when they were not enough for the German team Academy Potsdam .

BC Vinnitsia wins U13 tournament
BC Vinnitsia wins U13 tournament
The Friday program of the tournament was opened by the home team Academy Ostrava with a duel with the Ukrainian team BC Vinnitsia . The Ukrainian newcomer to CEYBL tournaments entered the tournament actively and gradually built a lead over the traditional participant from Ostrava. The latter did not find any recipe for the Ukrainian team and lost by a difference of sixteen points. The second match offered a duel between two Polish teams NEFROMEDICA UKS SP27 Katovice and Basket Hills Bielsko-Biała . The latter team is also a newcomer to our tournaments and it also led its match to victory. It was not as smooth as the first match of the day, as after three quarters of the game the difference was only two points. In the end, it was the difference of a single three-point shot that was enough for the win. The first round was concluded by a duel between the Czech team BA Sparta Praha and the Polish team KS Korona 1919 RadwanSport Kraków . Sparta did not arrive at the tournament in an ideal mood and only nineteen points scored were really not enough for a victory.
On Saturday, it was quite "stuffy" on the board right from the morning hours. We start the morning program with the duel between Vinnitsa and Katowice. The Ukrainian team entered the game brilliantly and built a double-digit lead. However, Katowice counterattacked and after three quarters the difference in score was only one point. In the end, however, the Ukrainian team won by a difference of six points. The second game was even more even. Bielsko-Biala and Korona fought for the lead throughout the game. In the end, the game came to an even end and Korona won by one point. At the beginning of the afternoon program, we watch the Ukrainian-Polish duel of novices, which the former won. Although it seemed that the game was decided after three quarters, the Polish team put in a lot of effort and came close to scoring, but it was not enough to overturn the result. The home team also showed an effort to intervene in the medal standings. In the duel with Korona, they are inspired to perform well and defeat the Polish team by a margin of eight points.
On Sunday, BC Vinnitsia defeated BA Sparta Praha and secured victory and gold medals in their first appearance at the CEYBL tournaments. After this match, it was clear who won the tournament and who unfortunately ends up in last place. The other teams had a 2-2 balance in the table and nothing was decided. Each of the teams could have been in second place or fifth place in the tournament under certain circumstances. So let's see how it turned out. First, Korona loses to Katowice. In the second match, the home team did not overpower the Polish team Bielsko-Biala. The medal positions are occupied by the winning teams, namely the silver Basket Hills Bielsko-Biała and the bronze NEFROMEDICA UKS SP27 Katovice .

BK Teplice wins the U13 tournament
BK Teplice wins the U13 tournament
BK Teplice enter the tournament with a fairly comfortable win over another Czech club, Jižní Supi . In the next match, the Czech team BCM Olomouc had no mercy on the Polish team BC Swiss Krono Žary and takes the win by a higher margin. The last pair of teams in this tournament are the Polish team AK Stal Ostrów Wielkopolski and the Austrian team Vienna Timberwolves . Here we are already watching a more balanced match, where the Vienna team first takes a single-digit lead, then the game is tied and finally the Polish team wins by eight points in the end. We also have the opportunity to watch a more balanced match in the afternoon program.
On Saturday, the home team played a balanced match with Vienna, the tug-of-war for every ball ended better for the team from Teplice, who won by two points. And the home team Teplice also closed Saturday with a balanced match from the city of Ostrów Wielkopolski. In this match, Teplice held a slight lead throughout the match and eventually won by five points.
On Sunday, the Vienna team tries to shake up the table by "catching up" with Olomouc. Vienna finally got a win after a series of even matches that did not end in victory, but paradoxically it did not help it move up the table. Olomouc remained in the silver position thanks to a better balance of head-to-head matches with the team from Žary. AK Stal Ostrów Wielkopolski easily dealt with the team Jižní Supi , but even that was not enough for the medal positions. The tournament closes with a duel between the home club BK Teplice and the Polish team BC Swiss Krono Žary . The home team left no one in doubt that it is going for the tournament victory and won by fifteen points. Thanks to this, it takes the gold medals, and Žary "remains" in the bronze thanks to a worse head-to-head match with Olomouc.

BK Inter Bratislava wins The Finals U15
BK Inter Bratislava wins The Finals U15
This year, the final tournament will feature a new system. Eight teams will be competing in two groups of four. The seeding into the groups will be based on the team's placement in the preliminary round. After the preliminary round, only one match will be played for placement. Therefore, if a team wants to play for gold medals, it must win the group.
In group "A" we can watch the matches of the teams BK Inter Bratislava , Akdemie Grand Est , WKS Slask Wroclaw and CB Basketball . Group "B" includes the teams BK Opava , ŠBK Galaxy Košice , BC Swiss Krono Žary and the tournament is completed by the home team, which replaced BSC Bratislava, which did not participate in the final tournament at the last minute.
In group "A" most of the matches were relatively even and the final match and performance in it were the deciding factor. In the first match, the French team Akdemie Grand Est defeated the selection of Central Bohemia CB Basketball , which is preparing for the Children and Youth Olympics here, by a difference of five points. CB Basketball also lost its second match of the day to the Polish team WKS Slask Wroclaw . Even in this match, the difference was minimal, the Polish team won by a difference of eight points. However, WKS Slask Wroclaw did not manage to deal with the Slovak team BK Inter Bratislava in the afternoon program. Inter entered the tournament as the last team in group "A" and immediately made itself known with a victory of more than twenty points. The surprise in group "A" occurred only in the last match. Inter was already certain of first place in the group, but still did not want to lose to CB Basketball and even then by such a significant difference. It must be said that the Slovak team suffered an unpleasant injury to a player during the match, which certainly left significant scars on the players and the team.
In group "B" we start the tournament with a balanced match between the Czech team BK Opava and the Polish team BC Swiss Krono Žary . The lead in the match changed regularly and in the end the Czech team won by four points. In the second match of group "B" the Polish team BC Swiss Krono Žary holds a slight lead over the Slovak team ŠBK Galaxy Košice for three quarters. However, Žary suffered a complete collapse in the last quarter and the enthusiastic Czech team wins this match thanks to a win in the last quarter 37:6. In the last match of the group, the first place in the group was played between BK Opava and ŠBK Galaxy Košice . Košice keeps pace with the Czech team in the first half of the match. The decision comes in the third quarter, when Opava gains a double-digit lead and subsequently brings the match to a victorious end.
On Sunday, we start the program in an unconventional way with a match for third place between the teams Akdemie Grand Est and ŠBK Galaxy Košice . Košice repeat the scenario of Saturday's match, when for three quarters they are a completely balanced opponent to the French team, which is playing without its injured point leader, but in the last quarter, after a series of mistakes, the French team created a small lead, which it maintained until the end of the match. In the end, a trick was played, which did not work out for the Slovak team, and the French team wins bronze medals after winning by ten points. The Polish derby for fifth place between the teams WKS Slask Wroclaw and BC Swiss Krono Žary also brought a very balanced duel. Here, the decision was ultimately made by the wider rotation of the team from Wroclaw, which, although losing several points in the score for three quarters, finally overpowered Žary, playing in a narrow rotation, in the last quarter. The tournament ended with a very interesting final in sports.
The Slovak team BK Inter Bratislava competed for the gold medals, which was weakened by several players who were injured during the tournament. Inter thus enters the final with only eight players. It faces the highly motivated and enthusiastic Czech team BK Opava . Inter enters the match very lukewarm and at 2:10 the coach takes a time-out, during which we hear several spicy "Balkan" expressions. Inter's players come to life and at the end of the first quarter they lead by a single basket. Subsequently, the lead in the match flows from side to side, we watch great encouragement from the fans, emotions from the players and coaches, simply a great basketball show. A wonderful basketball drama takes place at the end of the fourth quarter. In the last minute we are in a situation where Inter is leading by two points. Still pulling for every ball, great shots. Five seconds before the end of the regular playing time, Opava hits a tough three-pointer and gets to plus one and it seems that it is decided. After the time-out, Inter plays a combination in which it hits a very tough two-pointer and is ahead by one point. There are 1.5 seconds left until the end of the regular playing time. This time, Opava has a time-out. They prepared a great action for a free three-point shot, but it did not end up in the basket and the Slovak team can celebrate the win. BK Inter Bratislava thus becomes the winner of The Finals U15 for the year 2025/2026. Sad Opava takes silver, which they will certainly appreciate later. In any case, an uninterested spectator must have enjoyed such a final as a great presentation of youth basketball.
