Permutations: Who can secure tickets to the Qualifiers on Gameday 5?

MUNICH (Germany) - After Croatia snatched the first of four available tickets to the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers on Saturday, the competition in the Pre-Qualifiers has only intensified.

There are seven nations left in the running for the three remaining places in the 32-team Qualifiers, but all eyes will be on Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia on Gameday 5 as these three teams have a chance to get the job done already on Wednesday.

While Denmark and Kosovo will have to wait until Gameday 6 to resolve the situation in Group H, a win over Switzerland in the upcoming game could make things easier for the Danes when that time comes the road.

You will find all the scenarios for each of the four groups below:
