Greece vs Canada is one of the four basketball games that will be played in the men’s section on Saturday. The two teams from Group A will face each other in the opening day of Olympic basketball.
Previously, Giannis Antetokounmpo willed his team into the Olympics after beating Croatia in the final of the qualifying tournament. This will be the first Olympic appearance for the Milwaukee Bucks star and the fourth appearance for his national team.
For the Canadian basketball team, this is the first time that the team has qualified for the Olympics in the last 24 years. The last time they qualified for the Olympics was in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The Canadian team won the bronze medal at the FIBA World Cup last year.
Given the fact that the Canadian team has the highest chance besides Team USA to win the gold in this Olympics, they will be heavy favorites to win this game.
