Schedule
Teams
Belgium - Reigning champions, the Cats won their first-ever title at the last edition in 2023, led by MVP Emma Meesseman. They have a new coach in Mike Thibault and fine guard combo with Julie Allemand and Julie Vanloo.
Czechia - This year's co-hosts won their only title to date, exactly two decades ago. They have a nice mix of youth and experience with the likes of Emma Cechova and Petra Holesinska, while Julie Reisengerova is a colossus.
Montenegro - The smallest nation to ever appear at FIBA Women's EuroBasket, Montenegro extended their amazing appearance streak to eight editions despite a bumpy Qualifiers campaign. Punching above their weight, they're often dangerous at the big show.
Portugal - This will be the first time that Portugal have appeared and they're the only rookies at this edition after clinching their spot as one of the best-ranked second-placed teams in the Qualifiers.
