The Greek national basketball team competed against Ukraine at a neutral venue in Riga. Fans from Greece and the Greek diaspora in Latvia attended the match to back the team.
The Pelargoi fan association joined supporters already in the arena. Videos showed the group singing and displaying flags during the pre-match national anthem performance.
The presence of supporters was consistent with previous away games for the Greek side. Organizers noted that ticket-holders included both local residents and travelers from Greece.
No major incidents were reported around the venue before tip-off. The match formed part of the European qualifiers for the 2027 FIBA World Cup.
