Three months after a silver medal brilliantly obtained during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the French women’s basketball team returns to the courts this Thursday evening (9:10 p.m.). Les Bleues host Israel at the Palais des Sports in Caen as part of qualifying for Euro 2025.
Undefeated in group E, the players of Jean-Aimé Toupane, who has just extended until 2028, had already won against Latvia (71-49), then against Ireland (48-100) in end of last year. A victory on Thursday could very well put them in a favorable position for qualification for the Euro. Absent at the Olympics, the Israelis suffered a narrow defeat against the Latvians (86-83), but have the opportunity to get back into the race for the European Championship.
The Olympic vice-champions will then face Latvia, this time in Riga, on Sunday November 10, 2024.
The qualifying match for the women’s Euro basketball tournament between France and Israel will be broadcast this Thursday, November 7 from 9:10 p.m. on La Chaîne L’Équipe.
