EuroBasket 2015 banks on Crédit Mutuel

French banking group Crédit Mutuel has reached an agreement to become an official partner of the EuroBasket 2015 national team basketball tournament.

EuroBasket 2015 will take place from September 5-20, with France sharing hosting duties alongside Germany, Latvia and Croatia. The tournament was originally slated to take place in Ukraine before political tensions in the region forced a rethink in June 2014.

The final stages of the event will be staged in Lille from September 12 at the Stade Pierre Mauroy Lille Métropole, which Crédit Mutuel has partnered for the past three years.

France will play its group games at the Arena Montpellier against Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Finland, Poland and Israel.

Home appliance brand Beko is the presenting sponsor of EuroBasket 2015.
