Great Britain men's wheelchair basketball side have earned a spot at the next Paralympic Games due to their performance at the European Championships.

Ahead of the tournament in Worcester, the team were aware that a last-four spot would be good enough to make it to Rio de Janeiro next summer, and they progressed to that stage with ease with a comprehensive win over Italy.

The defending European champions comfortably beat their opponents by a 77-48 scoreline to join the women's team that had qualified earlier in the week.

Both the men's and women's sides will play Germany in the semi-finals.
