PIRAEUS (Greece) - The Belgian Cats are on fire. The back-to-back champions have stretched their FIBA Women's EuroBasket winning streak into double digits, now standing proudly at 13 straight victories.
You have to scroll all the way back to June 26, 2021 for their last loss – that one came at the hands of Serbia.
The 13-game winning streak is now officially the fourth-longest winning streak in tournament history.

But just how far are they from the top spot?
Well… only 101 wins short of the all-time record held by the Soviet Union.
Yes, you read that right. 101.
Team | Winning Streak | Years |
|---|---|---|
Soviet Union | 114 games | 1960-1991 |
Soviet Union | 32 games | 1950-1958 |
Spain | 17 games | 2013-2015 |
Belgium | 13 games | 2021-current |
Bulgaria | 12 games | 1958-1960 |
Czechia | 11 games | 2005-2007 |
With the current competition format allowing a maximum of six games per tournament, Belgium would need to win every single game until FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2061 to break the record.
No pressure.
But if there's a team that dares to dream, it's the Belgian Cats. Just don't forget to pace yourselves, ladies. It's a long road to 115.
