Unlike recent years, the roster now includes eight EuroLeague players. This is a result of an agreement reached between FIBA and EuroLeague, aimed at preventing overlapping schedules.

Les Bleus are set to begin their Group E games on February 23 in Brest, where they will face off against Croatia.

Following this, they will journey to Tuzla for a clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina on February 26. Completing the team pool is Cyprus.

13-man roster:

  • Andrew Albicy (Gran Canaria)
  • Isaia Cordinier (Virtus)
  • Sylvain Francisco (Bayern)
  • Nadir Hifi (Paris Basketball)
  • Jaylen Hoard (Hapoel Tel Aviv)
  • Damien Inglis (Valencia)
  • Paul Lacombe (SIG Strasbourg)
  • Mathias Lessort (Panathinaikos)
  • Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (ASVEL)
  • Vincent Poirier (Real)
  • Zaccharie Risacher (JL Bourg)
  • Matthew Strazel (Monaco)
  • Guerschon Yabusele (Real)

*Melvin Ajinca (Saint-Quentin) and Neal Sako (Cholet Basket) have been extended invitations to contribute to French NT practices.

FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers will be played across three windows on February 19-27, 2024, November 18-26, 2024, and February 17-25, 2025, with two games played by each team in every window.
