Great Britain earned a hard-fought 90-84 victory over Iceland in a FIBA Basketball World Cup European Qualifier on December 1, 2025. The win was secured in the final minutes after a tense back-and-forth battle where Iceland's three-point shooting kept them in contention until the very end. Iceland, playing at home, shot lights-out from deep for much of the game, holding a slim lead at several points in the second half. Great Britain's response came from their interior play, consistently attacking the basket to draw fouls and score in the paint. With the score tied in the final two minutes, GB's defense came up with two critical stops, leading to fast-break layups that created the decisive separation. This resilient road win was crucial for Great Britain's qualifying hopes in a tightly contested group.
