The French women’s basketball team qualified for the 2022 World Cup despite a defeat against Nigeria (67-65) on Friday in Belgrade.
Les Bleues, bronze medalists at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, are indeed guaranteed to finish in one of the first three places in their group thanks to Mali’s defeat against China (84-64). Jean-Aimé Toupane’s players will therefore participate in the World Cup organized from September 22 to October 1 in Australia. But against the African champions, the French were dominated. This bad impression will have to be erased during the final meeting of this qualifying tournament, on Sunday, against China, which is also assured of qualification.
