FIBA Europe has announced the official venues and dates for the Youth European Championships 2010.

A total of 212 teams have entered the 14 men's and women's Division A, B and C tournaments in three age groups - Under 20, 18 and 16.

Serbia held off France 78-72 to be crowned champions of the U18 European Championship Men 2009 in Metz, France.

Serbia last won this tournament two years ago in Madrid, Spain and head coach Vladimir Jovanovic was elated - although at the same time at a loss for words - afterwards.
