FIBA U16 European Championship

On 27 July 2007, in the first game of the Division B 2007 FIBA U16 European Championship, Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated Armenia by the score of 236–27, becoming one of the highest margin wins ever in any international game.[7]

Bosnia and Herzegovina won two gold medals in 2015, winning both the 2015 European Youth Summer Olympic Festival as well as the 2015 FIBA U16 European Championship. [8][9] Winning the European Under-16 Championship caused massive celebrations throughout the streets of Bosnia. [10][11][12][13]
