LONDON (Great Britain) - Great Britain have officially confirmed their 12-man roster for the upcoming FIBA EuroBasket 2025, headlined by the team's veteran center Gabe Olaseni.
Head coach Marc Steutel finalized the squad after their last preparation game on the road to FIBA EuroBasket 2025, which will start for Great Britain in Tampere.

Before their final warm-up match against Estonia in Tallinn, Great Britain had a rough preparation ahead of FIBA EuroBasket, losing four consecutive games to France, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia.
However, they boosted their positivity by beating the Estonian national team on the road, finally standing at 1-4.
Great Britain have never made it through the Group Phase in their previous six appearances at FIBA EuroBasket - the last one happening in 2022, where they finished at the bottom in 24th position.
However, Gabe Olaseni is a dominant force under the basket, bringing experience to a team full of interesting assets. Myles Hesson and Akwasi Yeboah will also be ones to watch for them.
The British national team will play the Group Phase in Tampere, alongside Germany, Lithuania, Finland, Montenegro, and Sweden in Group B.
They will begin their campaign against Lithuania on August 27 at 12:30 CET.
