Eurobasket 1949




The event took place in Cairo , with travel difficulties cited by many nations as the reason for not competing. Only four of the seven competing teams were Europe an, and even this bare majority includes the Transcontinental Country of Turkey , which is considered part of Europe in international sport. FIBA Europe refers to the contest as "undoubtedly the weakest in the history of the competition," as only 3 of the 7 entrants had previously competed at any Eurobasket -level event.
