The FIBA U20 EuroBasket is the new name for the FIBA U20 European Championship, [1] [2] originally known as the European Championship for Men '22 and Under'. It's a men's youth basketball competition that was inaugurated with the 1992 edition. Through the 2004 edition, it was held biennially, but since 2005 edition, it is held every year. The tournament was originally an Under-22 age tournament, but it is now an Under-20 age tournament. The current champions are Spain.
Starting with the 2005 B edition, a Division B tournament, which is the secondary level of the European Under-20 Basketball Championship, is also organized. Since the 2013 B edition, the top three placed teams at each year's Division B tournament are promoted to the next year's Division A Championship. This way, the three bottom teams of the Division A Championship are relegated to the next year's Division B Championship.
The Division A is the top level of the Under-20 championship organized by FIBA Europe.
These teams have always played in Division A, and have never been relegated to Division B:
