France have won all four of their preparation games so far in the lead-up to FIBA EuroBasket 2025 and have been in good form despite significant frontcourt absences, namely Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert.
The new-look Les Bleus will rely on Guerschon Yabusele to provide experience to a young roster that features up-and-coming stars Zaccharie Risacher and Alexandre Sarr.
Runners-up in the last edition, France have reached the EuroBasket podium on nine separate occasions, highlighted by their 2013 triumph in Slovenia. The 2025 event will be the 40th time they will step out at the Final Round of the flagship competition.
Les Bleus will play the Group Phase in Katowice, alongside Belgium, Iceland, Israel, Poland and Slovenia in Group D.
They will begin their campaign against Belgium on August 28 at 17:00 CET.
