The EuroBasket 2017 Final was the championship game of the EuroBasket 2017 tournament. The game took place on 17 September 2017 in the Sinan Erdem Dome, Istanbul.[1]
Slovenia, who defeated Spain in the semi-finals to reach the EuroBasket Final for the first time, met Serbia, the European runner-up from 2009, who defeated Russia in the semi-finals. Serbian team captain Milan Mačvan is the only player who played EuroBasket 2009 Final. Behind 35 points from Goran Dragić, who had announced his retirement from international play prior to the tournament, Slovenia won the final 93–85 and clinched their first ever EuroBasket championship.
It was the first EuroBasket Final in which both head coaches came from the same country. Slovenian team head coach Igor Kokoškov was coaching against his home country of Serbia.
