I believe that most of Basketball fans in Serbia already know that Belgrade will host Nike International Junior Classificiation Tournament. Tournament will be held February 24 to 26.

The tournament winner will advance to the Nike International Junior Tournament at the 2012 Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four in Istanbul from May 10-13.

Three classification tournaments already been played in Rome, L’Hospitalet and Kaunas. So, three teams already advanced to Nike International Junior Tournament at the 2012 Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four in Istanbul from May 10-13.

KK Zagreb CO, Lietuvos Rytas and Zalgiris waiting for Belgrade Tournament winner. At tournament in Belgrade, eight teams will fight for the last spot. Four teams from Serbia and four other teams.

Crvena Zvezda Belgrade, Partizan mt:s, Hemofarm and Mega Vizura from Serbia, Alba Berlin and Brose Baskets from Germany, INSEP from France and Union Olimpija from Slovenia.

Basketball fans in Serbia will have an great opportunity to watch great Tournament and see a lot of young prospects. I am sure that many NBA scouts will be at this tournament same as people from Euroleague board.

INSEP of France and Crvena Zvezda of Serbia both reached last years final round in Barcelona, and it is expected to see this final again in Belgrade. We will see if other teams agrees about this.
