BELÉM (Brazil) - Serbia are going back to the Olympic Games, securing their third consecutive appearance after the FIBA Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament 2024 in Belém.

Serbia's victory over Brazil during the second game of the tournament turned out to be decisive for the qualification. Serbia finished with a 1-2 record after losing to Australia (73-75) Sunday afternoon but benefited from the outcome of the night game, where Brazil needed to defeat Germany by at least 7 points. Previously, Serbia fell to Germany (66-73) on Thursday and bested Brazil (72-65) on Saturday.

Marina Maljkovic’s squad now heads to Paris, where they’ll seek their second Olympic medal after winning bronze in Rio de Janeiro 2016.

Serbia Women's National Team Olympic history:

Appearances: 2 - 2016 (3rd); 2020 (4th)
Medals: 1 -🥉(2016)

Having never appeared at the Olympics previously, Serbia find themselves potentially ready to make it three participation's in a row! Their debut at Rio 2016 was epic as they followed up their first FIBA Women's EuroBasket title a year earlier with a first Olympics outing and made it even more special with a maiden medal as they took bronze. Last time out at Tokyo 2020 they almost repeated the feat but just missed out and finished 4th.
