The competition takes place in both Tel Aviv, Israel and Ljubljana, Slovenia. The final phase takes place only in the Slovenian capital. Jean-Aimé Toupane’s players qualified for this meeting by finishing in first place in group B of the playoffs with five wins and one defeat. The French will start the tournament in an affordable pool with Slovenia, Germany and Great Britain. Les Bleues are confident, last year they also distinguished themselves at the World Cup. France had reached the quarter-finals where they were beaten by the People’s Republic of China (71-85).
The Blue match schedule:
June 15: France – Germany, 8:45 p.m. (beIN Sports)
June 16: France – Great Britain, 3 p.m. (beIN Sports)
June 18: Slovenia – France, 6 p.m. (beIN Sports)
There are reasons to believe in a French coronation on June 25. The EuroBasket is a competition that Les Bleues particularly enjoy. The Habs have been silver medalists in the last five women’s EuroBasket. During the last edition, in 2021, a few weeks before winning the bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the French women lost in the final against Serbia with a score of 63 to 54.
The 2023 Women’s EuroBasket will allow Jean-Aimé Toupane’s players to see where they are at one year from the Paris 2024 Olympics, an appointment where they will obviously be eagerly awaited. But this deadline is even more important for the other nations, those which are in particular in search of an Olympic quota. The road to the next Olympics passes through Israel and Slovenia for the teams that want to be present in Paris next year. The five best nations of this EuroBasket will win their ticket directly to the Olympic qualifying tournament. This is their last chance to qualify for Paris 2024. There is therefore much more than a continental title at stake during this EuroBasket 2023.
