BERLIN (Germany) - Germany officially confirmed their 12-man roster for the upcoming FIBA EuroBasket 2025, headlined by the team's captain and MVP of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, Dennis Schroder.

Germany couldn't begin their preparation campaign in a better way; winning the first three warm-up games ahead of FIBA EuroBasket 2025 against Slovenia (twice) and Türkiye, before losing to Serbia in Munich.
They concluded their friendly game scheduled with back-to-back encounters with Spain, winning in crazy fashion the first one in Madrid, which ended in overtime.
Germany have locked a participation at FIBA EuroBasket for the last three decades, as this will be their 26th appearance in Europe's most anticipated national team competition.
Winning the title in 1993, they were runners-up in 2005 and made it onto the last step of the podium in 2022, in front of their home fans in Berlin. Is this the year of another continental success for Dennis Schroder, Franz Wagner, and co?
The reigning world champions will play the Group Phase in Tampere, alongside co-hosts Finland, Lithuania, Sweden, Montenegro, and Great Britain in Group B.
They will begin their campaign against Montenegro on August 27 at 15:30 CET.
