Greece — Poland, Friendly International

Greece beat Poland 89 to 81 in a friendly international on 22 August 2026. The match finished with the hosts holding on by eight points after a competitive contest. To be fair, neither side dominated for long stretches. By then the teams had traded leads throughout the game. Greece came into the fixture with mixed recent results, including a narrow win over Portugal and a heavier defeat to Turkey. Poland arrived with a draw against Bulgaria and a loss in Bosnia. The visitors showed resilience in their last outing, coming back to level at 93-93 with Bulgaria before losing on that occasion. Greece had beaten Romania comfortably and pushed Finland to the wire in their previous encounters. What stood out was the closeness of the scoreline rather than any clear pattern of play. Poland kept pace for long periods but could not find the extra edge needed to take the lead. The result leaves both sides with mixed signals ahead of future fixtures. Greece remain in good shape after their recent victory, while Poland will need to sharpen their finishing to convert draws into wins.
