Matches


2018–2020

Belgrade Trophy was not held in 2018 since there was no major FIBA-organized international tournament scheduled for that year. In 2019, no tournament was held prior to the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, and in 2020, 2020 Summer Olympics were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, marking another year with no major international basketball competition. After three consecutive years with no tournament held, and no official announcements regarding the tournament from the Basketball Federation of Serbia, the future of Belgrade Trophy remains uncertain.
