Under 19 Four Nations Tournament
Basketball Australia has scored a min-coup in the lead up to the U19 World Championships in New Zealand (commencing 2 July 2009), securing 3 of Europe's strongest nations to play in Melbourne from 26 June to 28 June.
Greece, Spain and France will play a round-robin series involving the Emu's at the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre.
All four teams have a strong reputation at the Under-19 level with each able to boast a podium finish in the previous three Under-19 World Championships; Spain claimed the title in 1999, Australia won in 2003 with Andrew Bogut and Brad Newley, while France and Greece won Bronze in 2007 and 2003 respectively.
