• → Game to take place at the Peace & Friendship Stadium, Piraeus on Wednesday, June 25 at 19:30 CEST
• → Belgium, the reigning champions, have dominated Group C and aim to continue their title defense
• → Germany, with a 2–1 record in Group D, seek to leverage their balanced roster and momentum

The final quarter-final of the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2025 brings together a dominant Belgium side and a quietly confident Germany. Belgium, with a perfect group stage record and the competition’s most complete player in Emma Meesseman, look ready to defend their crown. Germany arrive with less experience but plenty of physicality, depth, and a belief they can challenge the holders.

Belgium: Meesseman the Maestro

Belgium cruised through Group C with three double-digit wins - against Portugal (81–52), Montenegro (87-53), and Czechia (72-60). Emma Meesseman has been outstanding, averaging 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists per game, and setting the tone at both ends. She’s flanked by the creative Kyara Linskens and the ever-dependable Julie Allemand, giving Belgium perhaps the most balanced backcourt-frontcourt connection in the tournament. The Cats play with rhythm, intelligence, and ruthless control.

Germany: Geiselsöder and Fiebich Leading the Charge

Germany finished second in Group D, with wins over Sweden (89-76) and Great Britain (80-67), and a loss to Spain (79-60). In the absence of Nyara Sabally, the frontcourt load has been carried by Luisa Geiselsöder, who dropped 20 points against Sweden, and Leonie Fiebich, who brings versatility, rebounding, and length on the perimeter. Alexis Peterson’s control in the backcourt and her ability to get to the line will be key against Belgium’s high-IQ defense. Germany may not have the star power, but their cohesion and rebounding make them a dangerous underdog.

Key Matchups

• Emma Meesseman vs Germany’s Frontcourt
  Germany must contain Meesseman without overcommitting - it’s easier said than done.
• Vanloo and Allemand vs Peterson
  Belgium’s guards move the ball beautifully; Peterson’s defensive reads and transition play will be tested.
• Physicality vs Fluidity
  Germany’s best shot might be to turn this into a grind. Belgium, if allowed to flow, can bury teams quickly.
