The 2025 Women's European Basketball Championship, commonly called EuroBasket Women 2025, was the 40th edition of the biannual continental tournament in women's basketball, sanctioned by the FIBA Europe. It was held in Czechia, Germany, Italy and Greece from 18 to 29 June 2025. This was the first FIBA Women's EuroBasket to be hosted by four countries, copying the hosting format used for the men's EuroBasket since 2015. The tournament involved 16 teams, with the four co-hosts qualifying automatically. Portugal made their debut while Switzerland returned after 69 years.

The winner qualified for the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup and the top five teams (including the winner) will qualify for one of the qualifying tournaments for the 2026 World Cup. Germany (as host) and Czechia (as winner of a Pre-Qualifying Tournament) had already qualified for the qualifying tournaments and should one or both of these teams finish in the qualifying positions, the next-best team(s) qualified instead.

Belgium were the defending champions. The Belgians would go undefeated and successfully defend their title with a 67–65 win over Spain, despite being down by 12 points with three minutes left.[1] Belgium became the third country after Soviet Union and Spain to defend their title. Emma Meesseman won her second MVP award in a row, becoming the first player to win it twice. Mariona Ortiz received the best defensive player award while Justė Jocytė won the rising star award, given to the best young player.

The tournament broke many records on and off the court and was deemed a big success by FIBA Europe.[2] This edition broke the attendance record with 92,851 fans at games. This edition also broke the single game attendance record for the 21st century as Greece's do or die game against Turkey in Piraeus would garner 10,503 spectators, breaking the record previously held by the quarterfinal game between Russia vs Latvia in 2009.[3] On the field, Italy won their first medal the 30 years while Germany and Slovenia achieved their best ever result with fifth and ninth respectively. France's win 111–37 over Switzerland was the biggest winning margin in 49 years.[4]

Bidding process

The following countries applied:

  •  Czechia – Czechia decided to file a late bid for the event after discussions with the Italian and German federations.[5] Their host city is Brno. Czechia hosted the tournament in 1995 and 2017.
  •  Germany – Germany is vying to host the EuroBasket Women for the first time ever, with Hamburg as their host city.[6] Despite Germany never hosting the EuroBasket Women, Germany have hosted the men's EuroBasket five times and will host the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup.

On 7 September 2023, FIBA announced that the Czechia (Brno), Germany (Hamburg), Greece (Piraeus) and Italy (unknown city) will host the tournament. Each country will host a group and the final round is scheduled to take place in Athens, Greece.[13] Bologna was selected as the host city for Italy on 11 December 2023, while on the same day, the final round was relocated from Athens to Piraeus.[14][15]

Qualification

Main article: EuroBasket Women 2025 qualification

32 teams took part in qualification, while the four co-hosts played in a separate group for preparation reasons. The 32 teams were divided into eight groups of four, with the eight group winners plus the four best second place teams qualifying.[16] The draw took place on 19 September 2023 in Munich, Germany. Qualification began on 9 November 2023 and ended on 9 February 2025.[13]

Of the sixteen qualified teams, 12 were present in the previous edition. Portugal will make their debut at this edition, marking the first time since EuroBasket Women 2017 that a team will debut at the tournament.[17] Regarding the returnees, Switzerland qualified for the first time ever and will return after a 69 year absence, breaking the record for the longest time between edition appearances.[18] Lithuania comes back after failing to qualify since 2015,[19] while Sweden returns after missing out on 2023.[20] Both Lithuania and Sweden, alongside defending champions Belgium, will all co-host the 2027 edition, with Finland being the only co-host not to qualify.

The most notable absentee is Hungary, who placed fourth in 2023 and narrowly missed out in the 2024 Olympics,[21] Hungary's failure to qualify marks the fourth time in a row that the fourth place team from the previous tournament fails to make the next edition. Slovakia, who were present at the last two editions in 2021 and 2023 also failed to qualify. Latvia, plus 2023 co-host Israel, also failed to advance after taking part in the 2023 competition.

Montenegro, Slovenia and Türkiye all continue their perfect record of qualifying for every tournament since their debut. The first teams to qualify were Sweden and Türkiye, who both qualified in November 2024.[22]
