Czech basketball players lost 76:90 to hosts Serbia on Friday, June 27, 2026, in a closed-door friendly match in Belgrade. The match was part of the preparation for the final stage of the World Cup qualification. The most notable Czech contributor was Vít Krejčí, the only current Czech player in the NBA, who scored 16 points. irozhlas.cz ↗
Even with Krejčí's contribution, the Czech team was not a match for the favored opponent. The match was played without spectators, so the available information does not provide a more detailed account of the individual quarters or broader statistics on the Czech players. The cited sources indicate that the result confirmed the gap between the host Serbia and the Czech national team at this stage of preparation. denik.cz ↗
The match also featured Houška's debut for the Czech national team. For the national team, it served as a test ahead of qualification duties, in which it will need to build on this preparation and assess its performance against a strong opponent. Attention continues to focus mainly on the composition of the team, the involvement of Vít Krejčí, and the coaching staff's next steps before the competitive matches.
The friendly match in Belgrade thus brought the Czech squad a defeat, but also an opportunity to test its current form ahead of the continuation of World Cup qualification. Further developments will show how the team makes use of the experience from the match against Serbia in the competitive schedule. idnes.cz ↗
