EuroProBasket is proud to announce another great opportunity for one of its dedicated Euro Professional Program players: Hakeem Hansen. The young Swedish Shooting Guard has departed for two significant tryouts with Spanish clubs—one in Valencia and another in Castellón.
Hansen’s hard work and development during his 9-week stint in the EuroProBasket program have resulted in this exciting next step on his professional path.
A Step Up to Spanish Basketball
Hakeem, a 6’0″ (183 cm) Shooting Guard, turned 19 on September 26, 2025. Prior to coming to EuroProBasket, he played for Norrköping Dolphins in the Basketettan Södra (Swedish 3rd league) during the 2024-2025 season.
His performance in Sweden earned him the distinction of being 9th place for most 3-pointers made in the Swedish 3rd league for the 2024-2025 season. During his 25 games there, he averaged 8.4 points and shot 36.2% from three-point range. He also contributed 2.3 total rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
Exciting Dual Opportunity
Hakeem’s talent has garnered attention from Spanish clubs in the region. He is set to try out with two teams, located in the cities of Valencia and Castellón, both known for their strong basketball presence.
One of the tryouts is with an organization that offers a particularly promising opportunity: a chance to play on the developmental team while also training and potentially seeing action with their First Team in Spain’s 3rd Division (Segunda FEB). This dual role is a testament to the club’s interest in Hakeem’s potential and provides a perfect stepping stone for his European career.
Tremendous Growth with EuroProBasket
Hakeem Hansen’s success in earning this tryout is a direct result of the intensive training he received at the EuroProBasket Euro Professional Program. Over his 9 weeks at the Valencia-based academy, he experienced significant improvement in his overall game. The EuroProBasket program, operating in collaboration with Valencia Basket and located in the modern facilities of L’Alqueria del Basket, provides aspiring professionals with the best possible platform for development and exposure.
Everyone at EuroProBasket wishes Hakeem the best of luck with his tryouts. His journey is another example of how the Euro Professional Program is a proven path for players looking for ‘Your Shot to Go Pro’ in Europe.
