vs North Macedonia
[edit]Because of the COVID-19 pandemic the matches of the second window against North Macedonia and Russia have been arranged to be played behind closed doors, in the protected bubble of the Saku Suurhall in Tallinn.
But the first of the two matches against North Macedonia that was initially scheduled to be played on November 28, was postponed [24] because three Macedonian players were found positive to SARS-CoV-2. The FIBA Medical Commission was forced to defer the game.[25] The match was finally played in the third window on 18 February 2021 in the Perm bubble in Russia.
