EuroBasket 2025 reaches the final day of the group stage, with many things still to decide, at least in groups A, B, and C. Surprising results from the first four matchdays means that there are still eight nations in position to qualify at the last moment, and only four places left.
The EuroBasket round of 16 will take place on Saturday, September 6 (round of 16). Who will be there? These are the teams qualified as of the morning of Wednesday September 3:
Group A: Latvia, Serbia, Turkey
Group B: Finland, Germany, Lithuania
Group C: Greece, Italy
Group D: Poland, France, Israel, Slovenia
Group D is decided: Belgium and Iceland have been eliminated. In Group A, Czechia was the first team eliminated. Estonia and Portugal face each other at 13:45 CET, so the winner of the match will qualify.
In Group B, things don't look too good for Great Britain, they would need a miracle (winning with 33 points of more and only if Lithuania beats Sweden). Sweden would also need a miracle: they would need Great Britain to win, too. If Montenegro beats Great Britain, at 12:30 CET, they would qualify.
Groups C is the most open, with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, and Spain fighting for qualification. Two will pass and the other will also be eliminated, like host nation Cyprus. Spain would qualify if they defeat Greece on Thursday (which seems unlikely, given their track record), or expecting that Georgia defeats Bosnia.
