The Estonian women's basketball team has gathered in Tallinn to prepare for three crucial games in the European Championship qualifiers. They are set to face off against the Netherlands and Slovenia away, followed by a home game against Latvia. This development comes just after team captain Mailis Pok's club season in Poland concluded with a disappointing finish, as her team finished in 11th place and missed the playoffs.

Mailis Pok expressed her dissatisfaction with her club's performance, reflecting on a challenging season where they participated in a play-out tournament rather than playoff games. She noted the importance of accepting this outcome while focusing on what comes next for the national team. The games against the Netherlands and Slovenia will be significant, particularly since they suffered heavy defeats against both teams in their previous encounters back in November.

Pok also highlighted that the team has had more time to develop their chemistry leading into these matches, which is crucial for improving their performance. She mentioned that the team had experienced changes, including adjustments in coaching staff, and is optimistic about facing the challenges ahead. Their performance in these qualifiers will be vital for their standings in the tournament and will test their preparation and resilience after a tough club season.
