vs North Macedonia

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 match against North Macedonia that was scheduled to be played in Tallinn on November 28, was postponed to the window of February 2021.[21] Three Macedonian players were found positive to SARS-CoV-2 and the FIBA Medical Commission was forced to the deferment.[22]
