    Seed 1

    Are defending champions Belgium the team to beat in 2025?

    France - Last winning the title in 2009, France are chasing a staggering 9th consecutive podium finish. They are packed with major stars like Marine Johannes, Gabby Williams and Iliana Rupert and never lost a qualifying game.

    Spain - No team has won more titles in the modern era. Could the secret to success this year be Megan Gustafson and Raquel Carrera working in tandem in the frontcourt. Does that make them the strongest team?

    Belgium - Reigning champions, the Cats won their first-ever title at the last edition in 2023, led by MVP Emma Meesseman. They have a new coach in Mike Thibault and fine guard combo with Julie Allemand and Julie Vanloo.

    Serbia - They're chasing a third title in a decade, having won their maiden crown in 2015 and then again in 2021. With veteran guard Yvonne Anderson leading the way, do they still have enough to be considered the best Seed 1?

    Seed 2

    How dangerous an opponent are Italy?

    Germany - This year's co-hosts attained their best-ever finish two years ago when they were sixth. They have since shone on Olympic debut last year and have stars like Nyara and Satou Sabally, plus Leonie Fiebich.

    Italy - This year's co-hosts won the first edition in 1938 on home soil. They used more players than anyone in the Qualifiers. In Matilde Villa they have a brilliant young gun, with Cecilia Zandalasini still capable of special things.

    Türkiye - Featuring at an impressive 11th consecutive edition, they were one of four unbeaten teams in the Qualifiers. If Teaira McCowan is suiting up, they have a possible MVP, while Sevgi Uzun and Elif Bayram are in great form.

    Czechia - This year's co-hosts won their only title to date, exactly two decades ago. They have a nice mix of youth and experience with the likes of Emma Cechova and Petra Holesinska, while Julie Reisengerova is a colossus.

    Seed 3

    Slovenia impressed in the Qualifiers with a 5-1 record.

    Montenegro - The smallest nation to ever appear at FIBA Women's EuroBasket, Montenegro extended their amazing appearance streak to eight editions despite a bumpy Qualifiers campaign. Punching above their weight, they're often dangerous at the big show.

    Great Britain - Debutantes in 2011, Great Britain’s best display came in 2019 with a fairytale run to the Semi-Finals. Their core is talented with Temi Fagbenle and Holly Winterburn leading the way. Are they the best in Seed 3?

    Greece - This year's co-hosts had never reached the tournament until 2001, but have since qualified for 11 of 13 editions. Will they show their teeth and make a splash at home led by Mariella Fasoula, Artemis Spanou and Co?

    Slovenia - The 2023 co-hosts will appear for a fifth straight edition, never missing since their debut in 2017. Fabulous in qualifying, they have a great captain in Teja Oblak, with Jessica Shepard and Eva Lisec tough under the hoop.

    Seed 4

    Lithuania are ready for their first FIBA Women's EuroBasket outing in 10 years

    Sweden - After missing 12 editions between 1987 and 2011, Sweden have since qualified for five of the last seven events. They turned heads with a flawless 6-0 record in the Qualifiers as Klara Lundquist showed out time and time again.

    Portugal - This will be the first time that Portugal have appeared and they're the only rookies at this edition. But that doesn't mean they can't be the strongest Seed 4 team - since they did take down Serbia to make it through!

    Lithuania - Champions back in 1997, Lithuania return to the event after a decade away. They showed their potential by almost toppling Belgium in the last qualifying window. They have big talent in Laura Juskaite and Juste Jocyte.

    Switzerland - Their last appearance came back in 1956 which means that they will step out at the event for the first time 69 years. They have a real rising star in Lin Schwarz who has has made people sit up and take notice
