As the first leg of Gameday 10 of the FIBA World Cup qualifiers comes to end, Spain is the sixth European nation to have sealed its ticket for China 2019 with a victory over Ukraine, while Turkey also sealed the seventh ticket.
Italy could qualify tonight, though, with a loss to Poland, they will have to fight once more in the final window in February. Meanwhile Croatian after losing to Lithuania are in more than real danger of missing the cut.
