PIRAEUS (Greece) - There are 192 players stepping out at FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2025 across four different countries and in four different cities.
We've dived into the data and looked at all the athletes now ready to go to work in Bologna, Brno, Hamburg or Piraeus and picked out some key categories.
You can see below which players could be causing havoc for opponents in the paint with their size and which players might be smaller but so often quicker than most.
We also check out who's going to bring that hugely important veteran know-how and who's in the very early footsteps of their respective careers as they take to the court at the showpiece event.
Who is the tallest?
Türkiye always look to use the height, presence and skill of Teaira McCowan to their advantage under the basket and it usually pays dividends. She is the only player in the entire competition at this edition who is over the 2.00 meter landmark. They also have the third tallest player too, with Esra Ural subbing in for their marquee star.
