Lokomotiv-Kuban newcomer Alen Hadzibegovic and our team's head coach Tomislav Tomović played qualifying games for their national teams for the 2027 World Cup.
Hadzibegovic‘s Qatar national team convincingly defeated India, 99:73. The Lokomotiv center scored 4 points, although he made only 2 of 10 field goals and 0 of his 2 free throw attempts. Besides that, he had a solid game: 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block in 18.5 minutes. The Qataris now face Saudi Arabia at home on March 2.
The Serbian national team, where Tomović is an assistant coach, suffered a dramatic final defeat to Turkey, 78:82. The hosts trailed by 15 points in the 3rd quarter, but managed to make a spurt, and take the lead in the 37th minute. However, the Serbians failed to score in their decisive attack. The two teams will now play each other again on March 2, this time in Turkey.
