Men's EuroBasket 2025: The scenario is simple, the Blues will be first in the group if...
The basketball world will be buzzing from August 27th to September 14th, 2025, with an intense group stage followed by a knockout round that will lead to the grand final. This competition takes place in four different countries: Latvia, Cyprus, Poland, and Finland. The group stage will be played in these four host cities, while the final phase, including the quarterfinals, semifinals, and grand final, will take place in Riga, Latvia. Without NBA stars like Wembanyama and Gobert, the Blues are moving forward with measured ambition, but still hope to bring home a medal.
After a perfect start against Belgium and especially against NBA star Luka Doncic's Slovenia, the Blues stumbled quite badly against Israel in the third match of the group stage. This put a lot of things into question. But against Poland, and despite another very tricky match, the Blues finally won thanks to a tremendous Yabusele, giving themselves the right to still dream of a first-place finish in the group. Already qualified for the last 16, the Blues therefore play a decisive match against Iceland this Thursday and to finish in first place, they simply have to win and see Slovenia beat Israel at the same time.
