MUNICH (Germany) - The first set of tickets to FIBA EuroBasket 2025 have been confirmed after the conclusion of the second window in November.
Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain and Türkiye are all locked in, as they will join tournament co-hosts Cyprus, Finland, Latvia and Poland at the Final Round, next summer.
Three-time champions Lithuania were the first to do so, as they improved to 3-1 in Group H with a double over North Macedonia in the window - even despite a 43-point effort from Nenad Dimitrijevic in the second game, which tied a modern-day Qualifiers record - set by Germany's David Kramer a couple of days earlier.
Serbia also prevailed on Sunday, before five more teams followed on the final day of November's action - including champions of the last two editions: Spain and Slovenia.
That leaves 13 spots to be determined in the last window, which will take place from February 20-24, 2025 - with no teams eliminated from contention to qualify at this stage.
Among the nations hoping to seal their places are current FIBA Basketball World Cup champions Germany, FIBA EuroBasket 2022 runners-up France, and two-time champions Greece, with a dramatic conclusion to the Qualifiers in store.
