MUNICH (Germany) - With the Second Round of the FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2027 Qualifiers approaching, we're taking a closer look at the history of each participating nation in the competition.
While some of the traditional powerhouses and contenders have been regular fixtures at the Final Round, others have been waiting years to make their return, and some are still chasing a historic first appearance.
Could 2027 be the year that some nations end their long wait and make a memorable comeback on the big stage?
