Greece and Norway met in the Women's Continental Cup on 2026-08-29, with the visitors taking a narrow 110-109 victory in a match that lived up to its billing as a contest between teams with contrasting fortunes. Greece sit fourth in the table after three games without a win, while Norway occupy second place with four points from three fixtures, two victories and a single defeat.
By then, both sides had already played two other matches in the tournament, and their recent results suggested this would be another high-scoring affair. Greece lost 58-88 to Romania and 52-56 to the Isle of Man in their opening outings, while Norway's record included a 129-157 defeat to Romania and a 126-127 loss to the Czech Republic.
The match itself produced 219 points between the two teams, and Norway's one-point margin was as close as it gets when both sides are firing. To be fair, neither team had been particularly tight defensively in their previous games, and this result followed that pattern rather than breaking from it.
And here's the thing about these group fixtures — they don't always tell you much about positioning until they do. Greece remain bottom of the table in terms of wins, still searching for their first point, while Norway extend their unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions.
The scoreline leaves Greece with zero points from three games and Norway with four, a gap that could prove decisive if the group stage continues on this trajectory. One team is closing in on qualification, the other still has work to do, though neither side can afford to take these matches lightly.
