Hungary

A country in Central Europe, with Budapest as its capital, and with an area of 93000 square meters and a population of 10 million. This country, like most of the Central European countries, are very active in PPM and with 34000 teams, they are one of the powerful countries in this game. With 600 teams in Basketball, they have a great national team in this sport. Young manager of Hungary's team, with less than 200 days of experience, has done a good job and qualified as the runner-up among teams like Italy, Romania, Canada and Venezuela, with 13 points. We have to wait an see if they can continue succeeding, in the final round. They used most of their players in the qualifying round and no player has played more than 5 games for Hungary, in the qualifying round. A superstar like Péter Tar who is one of the greatest basketball players in this game, and players like László Ráth & Attila "★" Kovács with 64 points and Zsolt Vajda with 60 points, were the most effective players of Hungary.

Latvia

A country in the north of Europe that borders Russia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus and Baltic sea. With a population of 2,200,000 and an area of 65000 square meters, Latvia is considered one of the smaller countries of Europe. They only have 21000 teams in PPM, but they have more than 500 teams in Basketball and are one of the powerful teams in this sport. This team, with its players and superstars, powerfully qualified as the group winner for the final round of World Cup with 14 points among Netherlands, Finland, Sweden and Norway. We have to wait and see if Oskars Vīksna can make this small country proud in this sport, considering that they are in the same group with Slovakia, China, Serbia, Argentina and Turkey.
Although there were some superstars like Teobalds Pilavs, Nigmunds "Kobe" Saderis & Ēriķis "Biedrs" Spolītis in Latvia's National team, Normunds Bratušs, who scored 87 points, was the most effective player of Latvia.

Czech Republic

A small country in Central Europe with only 10 million residents and an area of almost 80000 square meters. But despite their low population, they have the highest number of teams and users in PPM. Having 1200 teams, they are considered one of the greatest powers in Basketball. 55 year old mira with more than 2000 days of experience is one of the oldest members of the PPM and the manager of Czech Republic Basketball team. He's in charge of a powerful team with an overall strength of almost 30. They lost 3 games to Greece, USA and Bosnia & Herzegovina in qualifying round and finished 2nd in their group with 13 points, but they will certainly use all of their power in the final round. Considering players like Vojtěch Chudoba, Boleslav Menšík, Jiří Koněvalík, Oldřich Grumlich & Patrik Palus and ..., they are the first chance of championship. Patrik Palus, Vasil Ryšánek & Svatoslav Vodáček, each scored 86 points in qualifying round and had great roles in qualifying their national team for the final round.

Brazil

Brazil is the largest country in South America with more than 190 million inhabitants. It's bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and it borders most of other South American countries.

They have almost 52000 teams in general and almost 300 teams in Basketball. zehgomes has prepared such a good team, that with Poland in their group, they managed to be the group 6 winner with 6 wins and 2 losses and 14 points. They'll have a hard time, being in the same group as Hungary, Finland, Italy, Belgium and Romania. But with players like André Ferrara and Cleber Serpentina, and Leomir Carioni, who has had some great performances in 137 minutes in 7 games, with 81 points, 21 rebounds and 13 assists, they hope to succeed.

Iran

Iran is a country of a great antiquity that has its own culture since a very long time ago. And its people have always been in pursuit of peaceful and friendly relationships with people from other countries. And in more than 2500 years, from the reigns of Hakhamaneshian and Sasanian to this day, you can barely find a war that began with Iranians assault.
As a result of its great history, Iran is one of the countries with lots of ancient relics. Takhte Jamshid, Burnt city , 33 Bridges and etc are a number of famous structures that are left from ancient times and every year these places attract many tourists especially Isfahan, a city with lots of ancient structures. We hope that one day you can travel to Iran and see them yourself.
It hasn't been long since PPM became popular in Iran, and the number of players with more than 1000 days of experience can be counted on the fingers of one hand. But since the beginning of Iran's Football league and subsequently the formation of Iran's Support Team, there has been a remarkable and tangible increase in number and quality of Iranian teams. Iran's national team in football is in the lower levels, in handball it's in the middle levels and in basketball it's in the higher levels and can compete with good teams. It's the first time that a national team from Iran has qualified for the finals of the world cup and this sweet qualification has coincided with hosting an international tournament for the first time.
We hope that alongside the hosting,
Hopefully we get good results alongside the hosting so that we can continue improving.
Hoping for better days.
