The 2003 FIBA Under-19 World Championship (Greek: 2003 Παγκόσμιο Πρωτάθλημα FIBA Under-19) was the 7th edition of the FIBA U19 World Championship organized by FIBA. It was held in the Greek city of Thessaloniki from 10 to 20 July 2003. Australia won the tournament by beating Lithuania, 126–92, in the final, for their maiden title. Andrew Bogut was named the tournament MVP. [1]

Venue

The tournament was supposed to be held in Penang and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, [2] however due to 2002–2004 SARS outbreak, on 25 May 2003, FIBA Central Board decided to move the competition to another venue. Greece, which previously hosted the 1995 edition, stepped forward to host the tournament. [3]
