Britain will be looking to make history at this weekend's European Wheelchair Basketball Championship Division A tournament as they eye a record-breaking eighth men's title.

Spanish capital Madrid is due to play host to the event featuring Europe’s best men’s and women’s teams from tomorrow until December 12.

Britain triumphed when the tournament was last held in Poland in 2019 and will be aiming to secure a record-breaking eighth title.

They currently share the record with France.

Spain will be hoping to make home advantage count as they seek a first European crown.

The hosts claimed silver in 1995 and 2019 and bagged bronze in 2011 and 2013.
