Latvian U-16 women's basketball team finishes fourth at European Championship for second year running

Latvia's U-16 women's national basketball team has concluded the European U-16 Championship in fourth place. The tournament's final-stage games took place in the Romanian city of Pitești, where medal matches were played on Saturday.

The young Latvian players narrowly missed out on a podium finish, but the fourth-place result confirms the strength of the national team at this youth level. This marks the second consecutive year that Latvia's U-16 team has finished in exactly fourth place at the European Championship, showing that last year's achievement was no coincidence.

The outcome points to sustained development within Latvia's women's basketball youth system, as the team has managed to maintain a high level of competitiveness for two years running at one of Europe's most prestigious youth tournaments.
