GB squads announced for the IWBF European Championships 2025
After a competitive selection process, the players representing GB Men and GB Women at the IWBF European Championships 2025 are confirmed.
The competition tips off in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Friday 10th October 2025 and runs to Saturday 18th October.
Both squads feature an athlete making their GB debut – in the Men’s team, Oscar Knight receives his first senior call up after a stellar performance at the recent U23 World and European Championships, earning bronze and gold respectively. In the Women’s team, GB U25 World silver medallist Kayli English has been called up to make her GB senior debut.
The GB Men’s team went undefeated at European Championships in 2023, and their aim will be to deliver another dominant performance this year. Bill Johnson and Joey Johnson, the coaching team for GB Men, have been hard at work ensuring the squad is in top condition for the challenge.

Performance Director Kevin Currell commented:
“We will be taking two very strong squads to the European Championships. Both squads have a great mix of experience and youth, and will be supported by some great coaches and support staff who are preparing the teams meticulously.
“Players in both the Men’s and Women’s squads have made the coaches make some difficult choices and I would like to thank those who are not selected for pushing the teams hard over the last few weeks.
“I can’t wait to see them take to the court and show everyone what they can do and inspire us with the way they play. We want to take our play to another level on the first step to LA 2028.”
We’ll be covering all the action across our channels. Head to the IWBF Europe website for further information about the event: https://www.iwbf-europe.org/event/ecmwa-2025/
