Confirm ! Three days after having won with difficulty in Cyprus (59-75), the French basketball team meets this opponent again, this Sunday, November 24 in the recent Arena Futuroscope, near the eponymous amusement park near Poitiers, to his 4th qualifying match for Euro 2025.
For the first time under new coach Frédéric Fauthoux, successor to Vincent Collet, the Blues suffered before accelerating at the end of the match and winning quite comfortably. Still undefeated after three days, they occupy the lead in Group E. A new success this Sunday against the Cypriots could allow them to get closer – or even win their ticket depending on the result of the other match in the group between the Croatia and Bosnia – Euro, scheduled from August 27 to September 14 in Latvia, Finland, Poland and Cyprus.
If the Blues are deprived of a large part of the Olympic vice-champions due to calendar incompatibilities with the NBA and the Euroleague – only the leader Andrew Albicy is present – the French public will be able to take advantage of this match to discover the nugget Nolan Traore. The 18-year-old leader, announced among the first choices of the next NBA draft, had scored 10 points and offered 3 assists for his baptism of fire on Thursday.
The Cyprus-France kick-off is scheduled for this Sunday, November 24, at 5 p.m., on the floor of the Arena Futuroscope in the suburb of Poitiers. The match will be followed live and free on the DAZN platform.
