Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 2310438, member: 15"] I'm wondering if FIBA will announce the venues at the one-year-to-go milestone in September. The FIBA men's world championships were held in Spain in 2014 and there were 6 venues (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Granada, Seville and Canary Islands with the medal rounds played in Barcelona and Madrid. The men's field included 24 teams rather than the 16 teams in the women's tournament. As we know, the 2014 tournament in Turkey included Istanbul and Ankara with the medal rounds in Istanbul. There were 3 venues for the 2010 women's world championships in the Czech Republic; the early rounds were in Brno and Ostrava and the medal rounds were held in Karlovy Vary. Interestingly, Prague was not one of the venues. I expect Barcelona to be one of the host cities. [/QUOTE]
