Noah Burrell and Switzerland beat Azerbaijan.

The Swiss national basketball team starts the long qualification for the 2027 World Cup in Freiburg with a mandatory 72:53 victory against Azerbaijan.

Ranked number 63 in the world rankings, the road to the 2027 World Cup for the Swiss basketball players started three years earlier with provisional qualification. At the start, after a false start – 10:20 into the first quarter – there was ultimately a safe victory. Bayreuth Legionnaire Selim Fofana is the best scorer with 19 points.

The team of national coach Ilias Papatheodorou is on paper the strongest team in the group of four. The match continues on Thursday in Dublin against Ireland, which lost the opening match in Kosovo. The Kosovars somewhat surprisingly won twice against Switzerland in the European Championship pre-qualification last year. (SDA)
